Wilson said she wants to take her advocacy work to the state level.
Longtime Antioch City Councilmember Monica Wilson announced on Monday that she will seek the state Assembly seat held by Tim Grayson, who is widely expected to run for state Sen. Steve Glazer’s seat.
Wilson, a four-term Antioch City Council member, became the first Black woman elected to the city’s council in 2012. While on the council, she has advocated for an end to human trafficking, pushed for police reform and sought to help those experiencing mental health crises, among other issues. “I really want to make sure that we have housing for all, and I have worked on a lot of issues, championing project labor agreements, working with labor, and I want to take that to Sacramento,” she said.
Wilson, program manager for the human trafficking nonprofit Love Never Fails, also pointed to her work strengthening city rules for massage businesses and banning hourly rates at local motels and hotels.
