Marie's History

COUNCILMEMBER MARIE WALDRON

The Waldron family has lived in Escondido for 38 years. During the past two decades, Marie has been involved in the Escondido community. As a local business owner, she understands the economic impacts of burdensome government regulation and spending on the taxpayers and small businesses. As an elected official since 1998, she has fought for fiscal restraint, revitalizing our neighborhoods and is a strong supporter of public safety.

Having served as Escondido's Vice Mayor, and as a board member for the North County Transit District, she is the city's representative to the League of California Cities, the Regional Solid Waste Association Board, and Escondido's Investment subcommittee. Her commitment to her city has been honored by the Escondido Rotary Club's with their Outstanding Community Service Award.

Marie and her husband, Steve Waldron have owned and operated Top End Tees Screenprinting and Apparel in Escondido for 15 years. A successful business requires understanding the economic conditions that face our city and Waldron has been a member of the Escondido Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Association for many years. She was appointed and served 4 years as California's Honorary Chairman of the Business Advisory Council which advocated on behalf of small businesses to Congress.

Active in the San Diego region, Waldron was a founding member of the San Diego chapter of CWLA (California Women's Leadership Association), is a member of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, San Diego Tax fighters, the Adam Smith Institute and is an alumni of Leadership 2000, a regional leadership training program.
