    Councilmember seeks another term representing District 1

    – Paso Robles City Councilmember Kris Beal launched her re-election campaign Sunday during a kickoff event at Downtown City Park.

    According to the campaign, residents, families, business owners, and educators attended the event, which included remarks from longtime civic leader Dee Lacey and Beal. Guests also received ice cream following the program.

    “As a councilmember, one of the most rewarding parts of this job has been helping residents understand how local government works and how they can most effectively engage on issues they care about,” Beal said. “Some concerns can be addressed quickly, while others require long-term planning, prioritization, funding, and consensus. My role is to help connect people with the process, elevate concerns, and keep important community priorities moving forward.”

    Beal highlighted several initiatives from her first term, including:

    • Advancing pedestrian safety improvements along the Uptown and Spring Street corridor.
    • Working with youth sports families to help secure a unanimous 5-0 Paso Robles City Council vote supporting investments in parks and playing fields.
    • Helping food truck owners participate in the public process, resulting in changes to regulations.
    • Assisting residents with neighborhood concerns, including permitting questions, trash cleanup, flood prevention, pedestrian safety, and other constituent issues.

    “I am grateful for the support of so many residents throughout our community and honored by the trust they have placed in me,” Beal said.

    “We’ve made meaningful progress together, and I’m excited to continue building a Paso Robles where families, workers, seniors, businesses and the next generation can thrive.”

    Beal was first elected in 2024 to represent Paso Robles City Council District 1. The district includes portions of Downtown, Uptown, the River Oaks neighborhood, the Airport area, and part of the Union Road corridor.
