| Info | Marisol Rubio is a Home Health Care Provider and former Original Research Mentor and Bilingual Science Teacher. Throughout her life, Marisol faced challenges with perseverance and resilience - a lesson she learned from her mother who was a first-generation immigrant and single parent who earned a Master’s Degree in Education and taught in a high-need school district for 30 years.
When Marisol became a mother, her daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer at just 13 months old. Marisol became a tireless advocate for her child when medical and educational systems were unresponsive to her daughter’s needs. Because of her persistence, Marisol’s daughter is now a long-term survivor and a college student.
Determined to provide her daughter with a better life, Marisol earned a degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Molecular and Cell Biology, with a Neurobiology emphasis where she also received the P.E.O. Women's Leadership Award.
Using the lessons learned from her mother, the skills developed advocating for her daughter, and the empirical tools gained from her degree and professional work, Marisol concentrated on improving her community and helping the most vulnerable in our society.
A staunch defender of women’s reproductive, disability, and human rights, Marisol is a founding Advisory Board Member for FemTruth Youth™ (a nonprofit based in Danville that advocates for women’s reproductive health and education) and The Natalie Project (a statewide advocacy fund for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities). Marisol is the only candidate in this race that has been a lifelong Democrat, environmentalist, and is 100% Pro-Choice and Pro-LGBTQIA+ rights.
As an Executive Committee Board Member of Sierra Club California and the San Francisco Bay Chapter, Marisol has been at the forefront of addressing climate change and, in this role, she led several Bay Area environmental groups and the Contra Costa Building and Construction Trades Council in developing policy to help workers transition to green jobs.
Marisol’s work as Director and Vice President of the Dublin San Ramon Services District contributed to her district receiving a District of Distinction Award by the Special District Leadership Foundation for their commitment to good governance and to ethical and sound operating practices. She also championed efforts for green infrastructure and electric public works vehicles.
Currently, Marisol is a San Ramon City Councilmember where she brought about the first ever Ad Hoc Climate Action Council and Climate Action Task Force to help establish a standing Sustainability Advisory Committee and where she has been an ardent, successful advocate for disability and senior rights and for inclusionary affordable workforce housing. San Ramon was the first city in Contra Costa County to have their Housing Element approved without delays.
Marisol’s campaign for State Senate is focused on supporting working families, tackling environmental challenges, protecting reproductive freedom, upholding commonsense gun laws, improving education, advancing racial and social justice, addressing our housing crisis in collaboration with our cities, and making healthcare accessible and affordable for all.
