Chris Duncan is an accomplished Homeland Security attorney and Mayor Pro Tem of San Clemente. He has spent his career in public service bringing people together to keep our country and community safe and prosperous with honesty and integrity. He’s running for the State Assembly to find common sense solutions to help California’s hard-working families thrive and protect the future of our communities.
​
Chris supports the construction of a regional facility to house people who have nowhere else to go. The facility should be managed by the county's Health and Human Services Department since they are best equipped for it. He also believes we must partner with other cities in South Orange County so that San Clemente does not bear the sole burden of its construction. Chris will advocate for fully funding the Psychiatric and Emergency Response Team (PERT) so mental health clinicians are available to diagnose and direct people with mental health issues or substance abuse disorders into the care they deserve through the implementation of Laura'a Law and the city's anti-camping ordinances.
