As a 3rd generation resident of National City, Mayor Sotelo-Solis is proud to call this community home. From a young age she dreamed of becoming a leader, working hard to educate herself to do so.

Her hard work and dedication ultimately led her to serve 10 years as a Councilwoman for National City.
Sotelo-Solis’s new position as the city’s first female Mayor means working hard to bring a diverse population together. With a City Council that has often been divided over various policies, Mayor Sotelo-Solis’s goal is to bring the members together for the common good of the community. This includes focusing on the ever-present housing crisis facing local residents.

It is Mayor Sotelo-Solis’s job to see the issues from both sides. And work together to come up with a fair plan of action for the city’s future.
