With the November 3 election just days away, Tamica Small’s campaign for Stockton City Council District 1 has brought together national political figures, organized labor and local leaders around a message of safer neighborhoods, stronger government accountability and renewed cooperation at City Hall.

Small, a lifelong Stockton resident, retired San Joaquin County probation officer and substitute teacher, is challenging incumbent Councilmember Michele Padilla in a race that will help determine the direction of Stockton’s city government. Her campaign has attracted attention well beyond the city, including an endorsement from Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, the backing of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1021 and the highly visible support of her brother, Stockton District 6 Councilmember Jason Lee.

Small brings more than 22 years of experience in the probation system, where she worked with individuals navigating the criminal justice system while gaining firsthand experience with public safety, rehabilitation and community supervision. A mother of three and lifelong Stockton resident, Small has emphasized the connection between neighborhood safety, youth opportunity and community investment. Her public safety platform includes establishing a police substation in District 1, improving neighborhood policing, strengthening relationships between residents and law enforcement, and addressing police staffing and retention.
