“I just had the pleasure of meeting Gloria and even though I recently moved to Santa Maria, I know the community had elected the most dedicated and hard working person to take on the endless tasks of improving our community. I’m certain that I speak for every single member of the community that we have your back…no matter what!! After all, improving our community for the better of our residents is all we are here for!! I am truly blessed to call her my city councilwoman."

“Councilwoman Gloria Soto has restored my faith in city governance. She is honest, advocates for all Santa Marians and listens to her constituents. We are lucky to have her representing us. I’ve seen great changes in our community due to her leadership."

“Last night, I went home after the City Council meeting and said a special prayer of thanks for you and your bold motion to stand with us. You said it best when you reminded the Council that it is the Council’s responsibility to revisit issues that impact our community.”
