Encinitas Mayor Jerome Stocks has pulled papers for re-election to the Encinitas City Council.

"I am here to serve Encinitas, and the concerns of our local area. We have a great town here and it will only get better with the right vision for the future. And While I'm very proud that we completed our beautiful new library, the improvements to Moonlight Beach, the investments in road and sidewalk improvements throughout our city and more, there is much yet to be done."

"It is my desire to be re-elected in November in order to continue working for the citizens of Encinitas on important local issues like protecting private property rights and completing the Hall Property Park; as well as representing Encinitas on critical regional issues like the I-5 widening project at SANDAG to improve the freeway gridlock commuters endure every day" said Stocks.

Jerome Stocks is the only member of the Encinitas City Council with school-age children and a private-sector job.

Jerome Stocks is a local business owner and an Encinitas homeowner since 1986.

The Stocks family includes his wife Lisa, a nurse at UCSD, daughter Halley, son Jimmy, and Daughter Dorothy. To contact Jerome with your ideas and concerns, please e-mail him at: jerome@stocksinsurance.com, or phone 760-635-0425.
