Her knowledge of voting rights issues, mental health challenges makes her the standout candidate.
Four candidates are vying for the District 28 Assembly seat in the wake of Scotts Valley Assemblyman Mark Stone’s decision to retire after serving 10 years in the Legislature.
Pellerin, who has Stone’s endorsement, is energetic, possesses strong people skills and is widely known for her long-standing advocacy for more women in leadership roles. Mental health hotlines for those in need are valuable, she says. “But that’s not enough.” She advocates for 24/7 mobile mental health units throughout California, which would not only provide in-person help for the mentally ill but also remove that burden from untrained police officers called to assist.
The other two candidates in the race are Monte Sereno Councilwoman Liz Lawler and Starbucks barista and union organizer Joe Thompson.
