Experience that money can’t buy
Grassroots start at home!
“With my sleeves rolled up, I’ve spent decades getting things done in this community — not from the sidelines, but on the boards, commissions, and committees that shape daily life in Santa Rosa. Combined with a 30-year career in organizational management, that’s experience that money can’t buy. Now I'm bringing that same hands-on, experienced approach to the Santa Rosa City Council.”

Melanie Jones-Carter for City Council
“Melanie Jones-Carter has been showing up for Santa Rosa long before this campaign. I've seen her work firsthand — on the Design Review and Preservation Board, the Commission on the Status of Women, and across the community. She is thoughtful, experienced, and deeply committed to the people of District 4. I am proud to endorse her for Santa Rosa City Council.”
Chris Coursey, Sonoma County Supervisor, District 3
“As the former Mayor of Santa Rosa, I have had the opportunity to watch Melanie in action and have always been impressed with her ability to get things done. As the Chair of the Design Review Board, I have seen Melanie lead the team through some challenging times. Her expertise in budgeting, management, and proven leadership will be a much-needed asset to the city council. I wholeheartedly endorse Melanie to the Santa Rosa City Council.”
Natalie Rogers, Santa Rosa City Council, District 7
“Melanie’s decades of involvement on boards and commissions make her the clear choice for City Council. She has the experience, dedication and leadership skills our city needs. I’m proud to support Melanie.”
Caroline Bañuelos, Santa Rosa City Council, District 5
“We need a leader who is rooted in this community, not just running through it. Someone with both the heart and the experience to do the unglamorous, necessary work.”
Victoria Fleming, Santa Rosa City Council, District 4
