OFFICE OF MAYOR
City of San Luis Obispo
ERICA A. STEWART Age: 49
Occupation: Appointed Incumbent Mayor
Education and Qualifications As your current Mayor, former Councilmember, and part of this
community for 26 years, I have a long-term commitment to San Luis Obispo. I'm a mother, wife,
and both a Cal Poly employee and alumna. I have volunteered extensively in our schools,
County of San Luis Obispo Civil Service Commissioner, and helped provide food and oversight
at 40 Prado. My work experience is in human resources, healthcare, nonprofit management,
Superior Court, restaurants, and as a small business owner. I am dedicated to improving
housing, homelessness, climate action, inclusiveness, and promoting small business success,
as well as paying the unfunded pension liability. I will continue to lead SLO through regional
collaborations to manage our natural and financial resources responsibly.
It can be challenging for everyone to have their voice heard. I will continue to increase
opportunities for honest, respectful, and open communication to make SLO a healthier,
stronger, and more inclusive community. I'm proud of the work we have done through the
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion task force, and will continue expanding community education
and participation.
A vote for me is a vote for honest, open, and civil communication to solve our city's challenges.
Thank you for your consideration.
