Meet Carolina
Since being sworn into office in December 2022, Carolina has championed initiatives to create good-paying jobs, enhance public safety, and tackle the housing crisis, all while demonstrating fiscal prudence through responsible budget management.
Her approach ensures sustainable financial planning and maximizes investments in programs and initiatives that deliver meaningful benefits to the community. She represents Chula Vista on key regional boards, including the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) and the South County Economic Development Council, where she advocates for infrastructure investments, affordable housing, and regional transit improvements.
Carolina previously served as Chula Vista’s representative on the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS), where she played a critical role in advancing transit accessibility and equity for residents.
In December 2024, she was unanimously elected Deputy Mayor by her council colleagues, further affirming her collaborative and results-driven leadership.
