All in for Escondido! The next chapter…

Dear Escondido,

After much time, reflection, and heartfelt consideration, I have decided not to seek re-election beyond 2026. My final day in office as your Councilmember will be December 9, 2026.

As someone deeply rooted in this city, this decision does not mean I am stepping away from Escondido; quite the opposite. I remain fully committed to the community that raised me, shaped me, and continues to inspire my work every day.

Serving Escondido has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Together, we have fought for equity, lifted up our neighborhoods, protected our families, and worked to create a city where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

While my title may change, my advocacy will not. My commitment to justice, community-building, and creating meaningful change remains steadfast.

The next chapter ahead is one I have been building toward for a long time, focused on strengthening community leadership, advocacy, and creating the kind of long-term infrastructure our city deserves.

I believe this next phase will allow me to serve our community in an even deeper and more lasting way.

This is not goodbye. It is simply a new beginning.

Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your belief in me over these years. I am excited for what comes next and hope you will stay tuned as we continue building the Escondido we all love.

With gratitude,

Consuelo Martinez

¡Todo por Escondido! El próximo capítulo… 

Querido Escondido,

Después de mucho tiempo, reflexión y una profunda consideración, he tomado la decisión de no buscar la reelección más allá del 2026. Mi último día en funciones como su Concejal será el 9 de diciembre de 2026.

Como alguien profundamente enraizada en esta ciudad, esta decisión no significa que me aleje de Escondido, todo lo contrario. Sigo plenamente comprometida con la comunidad que me vio crecer, me formó y continúa inspirando mi trabajo todos los días.

Servir a Escondido ha sido uno de los mayores honores de mi vida. Juntos hemos luchado por la equidad, fortalecido nuestros vecindarios, protegido a nuestras familias y trabajado para crear una ciudad donde todos tengan la oportunidad de prosperar.

Aunque mi título cambie, mi compromiso no cambiará. Mi dedicación a la justicia, a la construcción de comunidad y a generar cambios significativos permanece firme.

El próximo capítulo que viene es uno que he estado construyendo desde hace mucho tiempo, enfocado en fortalecer el liderazgo comunitario, la defensa de nuestra gente y en crear la infraestructura duradera que nuestra ciudad merece.

Creo que esta nueva etapa me permitirá servir a nuestra comunidad de una manera aún más profunda y duradera.

Esto no es una despedida. Es simplemente un nuevo comienzo.

Gracias por su confianza, su colaboración y por creer en mí durante todos estos años. Me entusiasma lo que viene y espero que sigan acompañándome mientras continuamos construyendo el Escondido que todos amamos.

Su servidora,

Consuelo Martinez
