Today, President Barack Obama honored me with his endorsement to be the next Mayor of Stockton. Our race is among a select group of mayoral campaigns from around the country to be endorsed by our President.



“I am proud to endorse Michael Tubbs in his bid to become Stockton’s next Mayor,” said Barack Obama. “Michael’s service as a Councilmember illustrates that he understands the need for every Stocktonian to have safer neighborhoods, stronger schools, and a voice in the political process. His story is the American story, and Michael will work tirelessly to ensure that Stockton reaches its full potential.”



The President understands that for our nation to thrive, we need strong leaders with a deep desire to serve our community at our local levels.



I have worked to Reinvent Stockton by forming community partnerships and working directly with the community. Over the last 4 years, I have worked to deliver real solutions, including spearheading the South Stockton Promise Zone Initiative, partnering with the private sector to bring the first financial institution to his council district in over 50 years, opening a desperately needed health clinic, and aiding in the creation of the Office of Violence Prevention. As Mayor, I am committed to bringing the same revitalization and change to all of Stockton.

Together we are moving Stockton forward.



Sincerely,

Michael
