This month’s spotlight features Martha Abraham, a candidate for San Diego City Council District 4, whose commitment to public service is rooted in a lifelong dedication to caring for and advocating for others. As a nurse, entrepreneur, mother, and community advocate, Martha has spent her career standing up for those whose voices are too often overlooked.

Now, she’s bringing that same spirit of advocacy to her campaign for City Council, focused on ensuring District 4 residents are heard, neighborhoods are valued, and policies put people first. From her work in the NICU and founding her own home-care agency to organizing around issues impacting Southeast San Diego, Martha shares the experiences that shaped her leadership, the challenges that strengthened her, and the vision driving her run for office.
