On August 22, the Redwood City Council unanimously appointed Elmer Martinez Saballos to serve on the Redwood City Council for District 4 through December 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his appointment to the City Council, Martinez served on the Planning Commission and as co-president of the Palm Park and Stambaugh-Heller Neighborhood Associations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinez will serve the remainder of the unexpired term due to the vacancy declared following the resignation of former Councilmember Michael Smith in July 2022.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am rooted in this community and deeply interested in how our city addresses local and regional challenges that impact residents, ensuring all voices are represented,\u201d Martinez said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will continue to work to elevate those voices and use my experiences to be an effective and thoughtful addition to the city\u2019s leadership,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinez is a lifelong resident of Redwood City and serves as a senior policy associate for ReadyNation, a national nonprofit that mobilizes business leaders to advocate in the state legislature for policies and programs that support children and youth, the city said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martinez previously served as a district representative for former state Sen. Jerry Hill and state Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, where she directly helped constituents navigate state government resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his professional duties, Martinez has volunteered with the Redwood City Education Foundation, Ca\u00f1ada College's OYE Youth Conference and is a graduate of the Chamber's San Mateo County Leadership Program.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted that a reception has already been scheduled to welcome Councillor Mart\u00ednez. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, a ceremonial swearing-in will take place at the next City Council meeting, which will be held in the City Council Chambers on Sept. 12. This will be Martinez\u2019s first meeting as a City Council member.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
