Crystal Deleon Sarmiento
I bring nearly two decades of executive-level experience in business development and operations, leading teams, managing complex initiatives, and delivering results in high-accountability environments. I currently serve in elected local office, where I have hands-on experience in governance, budget oversight, infrastructure, and constituent representation. My training in executive leadership and behavioral analysis strengthens my ability to evaluate complex issues, lead decisively, and communicate effectively. I am results-driven, service-oriented, and grounded in real-world experience, not theory.
The two most pressing issues are economic security and public safety. I will focus on lowering costs for working families by supporting policies that strengthen domestic energy production, protect critical infrastructure, and expand good-paying jobs tied to ports, manufacturing, and skilled trades. On public safety, I will advocate for stronger border enforcement, support law enforcement, and oppose policies that weaken community safety. My approach is practical and results-driven: securing supply chains, protecting the grid, and ensuring laws are enforced so families and businesses can thrive.
