Pismo Beach Mayor endorses Cunningham for Assembly

Templeton, CA— Former Deputy District Attorney and candidate for Assembly, Jordan Cunningham has received the endorsement of Pismo Beach Mayor, Shelly Higginbotham.

A member of the city council for over a decade, Higginbotham is currently serving her third term as Mayor for the City of Pismo Beach. In addition to her time on the council, she is a former member of the Parks, Recreation and Beautification Commission, and a dedicated volunteer for community organizations such as: the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition and Lucia Mar’s Destination Imagination Program. In 2012, Higginbotham and her husband were recognized as Pismo Beach’s Citizens of the Year.

When asked about her support for Cunningham’s campaign, Higginbotham said, “We need a leader who truly understands our region; someone who can protect the unique qualities that make it so special, who takes a problem solving approach to policy, and will fight for taxpayers and hardworking families. Jordan is that person and I am proud to support his campaign.”

A Central Coast native, Cunningham has committed both his life and career to the region in which he has always been proud to call home. As a former Deputy District Attorney, he spent a number of years in the courtroom, helping to protect crime victims by prosecuting cases of fraud, assault and domestic violence.

As the father of four and a proven community leader, public safety has been only one issue in which Cunningham is dedicated. He was recently elected to the Templeton Unified School Board, where he works with colleagues to ensure local dollars are being spent in the classroom and used to provide a constructive learning environment for the region’s students.

Jordan Cunningham also volunteers for a number of youth organizations, and is the President of the Central Coast Taxpayers Association. He lives in Templeton with his wife, Shauna, and their four children.
