Let's chat over a steaming cup of coffee at El Pavo Bakery, my family's business that's been serving our community for 40 years. 

San Gabriel isn't just my home – it's my passion.
For two decades, I've been right here, watching our city evolve and pitching in wherever I could. As a single mom, small business owner, and former nurse, I've walked in your shoes. 

I've had the privilege of serving on our City Council before, from February to December 2022. During that time, I also worked with the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society, because I believe in taking care of all members of our community - even the furry ones! 

I'm all about getting involved and making a difference. That's why I've taken on roles like Vice President of the Board of Directors for our San Gabriel Chamber of Commerce and served on the Parent Planning Commission at San Gabriel Mission High School. I'm also proud to be a member of the Los Angeles County Small Business Commission, because I know how important our local businesses are to our community's vitality.

I've felt the challenges our families face and seen the potential our city holds. That's why I'm running for San Gabriel City Council.

My goal is to make San Gabriel a place where every family thrives, every business flourishes, and every resident feels heard. From boosting public safety to smart budget management, I'm all about practical solutions that make a real difference in our daily lives. So, what do you say? Let's work together to build a San Gabriel that we're all proud to call home.

Your voice, your concerns, your dreams – they're all part of the San Gabriel I envision. A city where every family feels safe, where small businesses thrive, and where our children have endless opportunities. It's not just about policies – it's about building a community where everyone feels they belong.

San Gabriel isn't just a place on a map - it's a living, breathing testament to the power of unity. Our city stands as a shining example of what's possible when diverse communities come together with a shared vision and purpose.

From the historic Mission to our vibrant business districts, San Gabriel pulses with the energy of people from all walks of life working side by side to build something greater than themselves. Being on the Council isn't about sitting in meetings. It's about rolling up your sleeves and getting things done. Whether it's volunteering at the food pantry or advocating for small businesses, I'm all in. Because San Gabriel isn't just a city – it's our home. We're not defined by our differences, but strengthened by them. Our cultural tapestry is woven with threads of tradition and innovation, creating a community fabric that's both resilient and dynamic. In San Gabriel, we don't just coexist - we thrive together.

I am the only Candidate endorsed by Our police officers and firefighters, they are the backbone of our community's safety and well-being. 

They're the ones who rush towards danger when the rest of us are running away. They know our city inside and out, and they understand the unique challenges we face when it comes to public safety. 

Their endorsement isn't just a pat on the back - it's a vote of confidence in my ability to work alongside them to keep San Gabriel safe and thriving. it reflects my commitment to supporting our first responders and ensuring they have the resources they need to do their jobs effectively.

My Family, My Community, My Home.

"Carina's life resonates with so many of us because it's rooted in love – love for family, for community, and for the possibility of making a difference."

My candidacy for City Council isn't just about politics – it's about bringing our community together, lifting each other up, and creating a San Gabriel where every voice is heard and every dream has a chance to flourish. i am not just running for office; I am running towards a brighter future for all of us.



I kindly ask for your vote and support to create a legacy of progress, unity, and prosperity that will endure for generations to come."
