District 2 Elk Grove City Council candidate Martin’s first mailer arrives

The first mailer for Elk Grove City Council District 2 candidate Felipe Martin has arrived in recent days for voters. Martin is one of three candidates vying to replace Pat Hume, who is running for the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors.

Martin, who lacks the name recognition of three-term Cosumnes Community Services District Director Rod Brewer, one of the two other candidates competing for the District 2 seat, has sent a four-page glossy mailer. The piece touts the endorsement from Democratic California Assemblymember and Sacramento County Sheriff-elect Jim Cooper.

Although the city council race is officially non-partisan, Martin has self-identified as a Democrat. Brewer is also a Democrat and the third candidate, Michelle Kile, is a Republican endorsed by the Sacramento County Republican Party.

Martin highlights campaign talking points in the mailer, including job creation and public safety. In addition to Cooper, former Republican Elk Grove City Councilmembers Steve Detrick and Sophia Scherman have offered Martin their support.
