Dear Neighbor,

Like many other families in our community, I came from humble beginnings. I was raised in an immigrant, blue-collar household—my mother was a waitress at IHOP and my father was a fisherman. We didn’t have much, but they worked hard, and I am grateful for that to this day.

I’ve spent my career working with my hands. I worked in aerospace before a plant closure forced me to transition into the construction industry. I started as a heavy machinery operator and worked my way up to owning my own business. Throughout my life, I have spent my days alongside countless hard-working families trying to make something of themselves and give their families a better life.

Now, I’m running for Chula Vista City Council to take those experiences and put them to work. I will fight for working families in Chula Vista and make our community a safer and more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family.

Chula Vista is a city full of opportunity, and I’m committed to making sure every neighborhood and every family has a voice at City Hall.

I hope to earn your vote.

Chuck Sanfilippo
