Amber Kae's Vision for Oceanside

Community is my top priority! I am a lifelong O'sider, and a resident of District 4 for 22 years. Unlike our current representative, I promise to be accessible and transparent. It's time to prioritize our community over special interests! In 2021, I worked with neighbors and successfully stopped an Amazon warehouse from being built near schools, neighborhoods, and a senior community.

We don't have a homeless problem. We have HOMELESS PEOPLE. Seniors are the fastest-growing homeless population. Over 25% of those without homes in Oceanside are families and veterans. First, we must keep people in their homes. At the same time prioritize affordable housing and long-term solutions for those who need homes.

Oceanside is growing and state housing mandates mean more density. We need leadership dedicated to holding developers and businesses accountable for road damage, and traffic impacts. I promise to prioritize accountability and fight for safe routes to school for our children. I will improve access to public transportation and fund our roads working with state and federal government leaders.

Growing up in Oceanside the environment has always had a special place in my heart.  My ultimate goal is for Oceanside to become both a Blue Zone and a Green Zone. Oceanside can be a city known for its quality of life and environmental standards. I will collaborate with the different agencies to find regional and local solutions to sand replenishment and protecting open spaces like LAC and SLR.

I love and support small businesses in Oceanside, especially in District 4. As a lifelong entrepreneur and a professor, I teach my students the importance of having multiple streams of income. I run a home-based mindfulness and wellness business. On the city council, I will advocate for small business owners, including those with home-based businesses, street vendors, and brick-and-mortar stores.
