Vote for Change

Alex Matias, running for Vallejo City Council from District 1, stands out as a dedicated and ambitious leader committed to addressing the most pressing needs of our community. Today, I had the great honor of walking door-to-door with him, experiencing firsthand his passion for making Vallejo a better, safer place for all. Matias is driven by a mission to protect the city while fostering an environment where youth can thrive. What sets him apart from other candidates is his determination to implement a forward-thinking vision—one that breaks away from the ineffective status quo and revitalizes city governance with innovative ideas.

His priorities reflect a strong focus on community wellbeing, economic growth, transparency, and inclusivity. Matias advocates for a well-run, ethical Police Department and aims to enhance public safety through partnerships with law enforcement agencies and investment in neighborhood watch programs. He is deeply committed to comprehensive plans that address homelessness with wraparound services, believing that no one should live on the streets. Street safety improvements, such as better pavement, traffic calming, and lighting, are also high on his agenda to ensure safer pedestrian experiences.

With his extensive experience as President of Vallejo Main Street and Chair of the Economic Vitality Commission, Matias champions job creation and business growth. He aims to foster an entrepreneurial climate by streamlining business processes, redeveloping spaces, and encouraging shop-local campaigns. His commitment extends beyond policy; he strives to make city leaders more accessible and accountable, ensuring communication flows between the government and residents. Transparency is central to his approach, as he believes in bringing the community into the policy process and responsibly managing taxpayer dollars to minimize waste.

Matias celebrates Vallejo's vibrant diversity and envisions a city where inclusivity is woven into its fabric. His leadership is inspired by a deep love for Vallejo—not just for his own family but for every family in the community, seeing the city itself as his extended family. This drive is paired with practical solutions and a willingness to lend his professional expertise to make meaningful progress. His bold commitment to change, grounded in ethics and vision, offers a hopeful path forward for Vallejo.

Matias doesn’t dwell on problems, he forges a path toward solutions.
