Welcome
I appreciate you taking the time to visit this site to learn more about my background and candidacy for Santa Rosa City Council – District 4. As a 2nd term Santa Rosa Planning Commissioner, retired firefighter, fire survivor and small business owner during the Great Recession, I have diverse, real-world experience on the critical budgetary and public safety issues facing our community today. Through my wife’s work as an attorney representing school districts and as a former foster and homeless youth education services coordinator for the Sonoma County Office of Education, I’ve also developed a unique understanding of the challenges facing our schools and most vulnerable populations. We can and must do better on these and other critical issues facing Santa Rosa today.
This fall, I hope to earn your trust, support and vote to serve District 4 on the Santa Rosa City Council. It’s time for a positive change to lead Santa Rosa down a better path and towards a brighter future. As we embark on this journey, I hope we can achieve this goal – together. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at (707) 687-9424 or email me at Sanders4CityCouncil2026@gmail.com.
Yours in service,
Terry Sanders, Candidate
Santa Rosa City Council – District 4
