Stockton City Council District 5

Councilmember Susan Talamantes Eggman

Susan Eggman is serving her first term on the Stockton City Council. Susan decided to run for office after the 2004 election cycle, believing change was necessary. Susan strongly believes that social, economic and environmental justice is possible through the political process.

During her first year in office Susan has been a strong advocate of affordable housing, literacy, reducing crime through the engagement of community and most recently a push for the City of Stockton to establish itself as the leader in the Valley for green technology.

Susan is a veteran of the US Army. She received her B.A. in psychology and her Masters in Social Work from California State University (CSU) - Stanislaus. She earned her PhD in Social Work and Social Research from Portland State University.

Projects in the District:

Victory Park Pond Improvements: Established in 1914, the ponds collect and filter stormwater from the Park and surrounding neighborhood. The ponds are more than an aesthetic feature of the Park; they serve a important function in the City's stormwater management system.  The ponds have had no significant repairs or improvements throughout the years.

Community Coalition on Homelessness

The Community Coalition on Homelessness is organizing to end homelessness in Stockton. An Interagency Council of City and County elected officials and staff, representatives from the offices of State Legislators, and faith-based and non-profit organizations govern the Coalition. The Interagency Council held a meeting on May 6th and agreed to develop a "Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness". The Interagency Council will meet in June to begin work on the Plan.
