Vote Martha for Mayor

Meet Martha

Mayor Guerrero moved to West Sacramento in 2003 and is currently a legislative advocate for the County of Los Angeles. Working at the local, state and federal level of policy development has provided a deeper understanding of key leadership areas such as strategic employment and growth opportunities for disadvantaged populations, increased protections for vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, people with disabilities, access to health care and health insurance, expanding services to combat homelessness, and improved access to early education. Promoting self-sufficiency, she has also lent her time and expertise to community based organizations such as Turning Point Community Programs. 
Mayor Guerrero, earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from CSU Los Angeles. She went on to obtain her Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. She is a member of the Centennial Rotary Club and the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy-Sacramento Board. Recently she became a member of the National Association of Social Workers’ Board.  As a single mother of twin daughters and proud grandmother, Martha is dedicated to her family and enjoys cooking, jogging, swimming, cycling and volunteering with her neighbors and friends.
During her time with the Planning Commission and on City Council, Martha consistently advocated for fiscal transparency to ensure resources for public safety and infrastructure align with the city’s growth. She supported efforts to enhance bike and pedestrian access and create safe routes to schools. Her work over the years has helped make a significant number of the community’s aspirations a reality:
  • Centralized COVID-19 Recovery EffortS in City Hall through Yolo Food Bank Distribution COVID19 Vaccines/PCR Testin
  • Affordable and Mixed-Use Housing projects throughout the city
  • Prioritization of West Sacramento for ongoing federal Flood Protection funding
  • Transformation of the West Capitol Avenue corridor
  • Increased the number of avenues to reduce the incidence of homelessness: Mercy Housing, Project Home/Room Key, Recovery Cafe
  • Continued expansion of bicycle and pedestrian friendly pathways
  • Youth Fire/Police Academies and increased enrollment in the HomeRun Program
  • Thriving Urban Farms and increased food security through the Mobile Food Van program
  • Assistance for Newborns/Mothers through the Welcome Baby Program
  • Access to Free Solar Panels through the Grid Alternatives Program
  • Citywide expansion of Electric Fueling Stations
  • Rock-the-Block Housing Rehab Program

Martha volunteers as a panelist for Yolo County DA’s Neighborhood Court-West Sacramento Homeless Program helping to divert people in need or at risk into services to reduce and eliminate repeated contact with law enforcement.

She is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) by training, but Martha’s dedication to service was first inspired by her mother who would make home-cooked meals for the homeless and elderly in her neighborhood. She gained her work ethic from her father who worked at a clothing factory to support the family.

While attending CSU Los Angeles, Martha worked as a bi-lingual research assistant studying community health issues such as HIV/AIDS and the behavioral effects on  Latino Communities. Upon completion of her studies, Martha used her training as a LCSW and worked with advocates in both the State Legislature and Congress to help close gaps in treatment for those with mental illness.
