About

Summer Pennino

I was born and raised in this special city, and I am committed to making Lodi the best place to live, work and raise a family.

That means:

Working with our police department to reduce crime
Find creative solutions and work collaboratively with community organizations that will address the homeless crisis
Making Lodi more attractive to job growth and business investment
Investing in our parks, city facilities and infrastructure

Together, we can prepare Lodi for the next generation while still maintaining its special character.

I was born and raised in Lodi and love our small-town charm. At an early age, my parents instilled in me a strong sense of community, and I would be honored to use my unique life experiences to continue their legacy of public service. Over the years, I have realized how fortunate we are to live in such a special place, and I am committed to protecting our city for generations to come.

On the City Council, I will work to balance smart and sustainable growth while preserving our relaxed "down home" atmosphere and world-class farmland to ensure that Lodi is a welcoming community where people want to live, work, and raise their families.

Community safety is the cornerstone of a vibrant and thriving city. As a Councilmember, I will work closely with public safety leaders to find effective solutions to reduce local crime, and collaborate with community leaders to tackle the problem of homelessness in Lodi.

As your representative, my primary responsibility will be to ensure the City of Lodi can provide quality facilities, infrastructure and services for residents, while ensuring that your tax dollars are handled wisely.

If you agree, I would appreciate your vote.

Fighting for Lodi's Future

Public Safety

Community safety is the cornerstone of a vibrant and thriving city. I will work closely with public safety leaders to find effective solutions to reduce local crime and always fully-fund the local police.

Jobs and the Economy

I will work to continue to bring head-of-household jobs to Lodi that complement our existing economy.

Parks and Public Services

Our local parks can be the jewel of Lodi. As your next Councilmember, I will make sure that we invest in our local park system, youth services and roads.

Homelessness

We must address the mental health and addiction crisis that has spilled into our streets. I will work with local nonprofits and government partners to find effective solutions and programs to address the homelessness issue.

Tourism

Lodi's agribusiness, wineries and breweries will continue to attract visitors from around the world. Growing and cultivating our tourism industry will help create jobs, provide additional tax revenue and grow Lodi's economy.

Children and Youth Services

As a former Lodi Youth Commissioner, Teen Lead graduate and Lodi Youth Commission Advisor, I have worked closely with closely with local teens and believe there is an unmet need for a youth programs. We must mentor today’s youth and ensure we have the services and programs necessary to grow the next generation of Lodi leaders.
