Annalisa Mitchell for Seaside City Council
Candidate for Seaside City Council

Seaside is home.

I'm a third-generation Seaside resident. This community didn't just give me a place to live, it helped shape who I am. Now I'm ready to serve the city that raised me.

Meet Annalisa

Service has always been my purpose.

I know the pride we have in our city. I know the strength of our neighborhoods. I know the diversity of our families. And I know the challenges that many of our residents face.

Most importantly, I know the heart of Seaside. It is the parent working hard to give their children a better future. It is the senior who wants to remain in the community they have called home for decades.

It is the veteran who has given so much and deserves to know that their community has not forgotten them. It is the small business owner who opens their doors every morning and invests in our community.

It is the young person who needs someone to tell them, "You matter. Your future matters. And we believe in you."

That is the Seaside I love. And that is the Seaside I want to continue serving.

Serving the Community

From Annalisa

For years, my work has been centered on helping individuals rebuild their lives.

supporting families,advocating for affordable housing, encouraging our youth, volunteering in our community, and continuing to show up for Seaside.

Now, Its time to walk together into the next chapter.

This journey isn't about one person having all the answers. It's about believing in the power of us, our voices, our experiences, and our shared commitment to building a stronger Seaside.

It's about the mother working to create a better life for her children. The senior who deserves to remain in the community she loves. The veteran who deserves support and access to resources. The young person who needs opportunity and someone willing to believe in their future.

It's about the small business owner working hard to build something for their family and strengthen our local economy. And it's about every neighbor who cares enough about Seaside to speak up, get involved, and help shape its future.

Because Seaside's future belongs to all of us, and together, we can move our community forward.

Let's listen to one another. Let's work together. Let's believe in what Seaside can become.

We are better together.

Join a campaign built on service, experience, and the belief that Seaside's best days are ahead of us.
