    The Recommendation


    Assm. Lori D. Wilson, former mayor of Suisun City and a finance professional, is from Fresno and has lived in Suisun City for 18 years. According to campaign materials, she is running for election to continue to bring her successful approach to local economic improvement and fiscal management to the larger AD-11 community.

    Assm. Wilson has worked as a director of finance, and has used her professional understanding of fiscal policy to support fair-housing initiatives, economic improvements, and job growth in Suisun City. Wilson was elected to serve on the Suisun City Council in 2012, and acted as the vice mayor for six years. In 2018, she was elected to serve as mayor, and worked to improve economic conditions, establish pandemic health-care access, and end homelessness. Under Wilson’s leadership, Suisun City reduced its unemployment and maintained a rate that was consistently lower than the state average. She also created partnerships with local organizations to support individuals experiencing homelessness, to improve mental-health response times, and to house families affected by wildfires. Wilson was the first Black female mayor to serve in Solano County.

    Lori Wilson has the endorsement of many lawmakers and groups, including State Board of Equalization member Malia Cohen, Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, the California Legislative Black Caucus, the California Teachers Association, California Environmental Voters, and several local elected officials. Wilson also has the full endorsement of recently retired Assemblymember Jim Frazier, who represented this district for ten years. Based on our analysis, Wilson’s track record and policy positions demonstrate that she will be a progressive champion for the constituents of AD-11 and will govern effectively in the best interest of this diverse district.
