Steph Vigil, a former state representative, is running for office again. She served from 2023-24 and proved to be an effective legislator despite her humble background. Vigil stood up to corporate lobbyists and achieved major legislative wins in housing, clean energy, workers’ rights, and more.

Policy Priorities

Vigil’s top policy priorities include providing safe, secure, and affordable housing, as well as reliable transportation. She also plans to continue standing with working people, strengthening collective bargaining, and protecting worker safety and dignity. Additionally, Vigil will defend civil liberties and human rights, including reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights.

Vigil also highlighted the issue of food security, which she believes is being overlooked in the race. She proposes reexamining policies in the tax code, permitting, and land use rules to make small, community-based grocery stores more feasible.
