SD Rostra’s Marie Waldron has been named Assemblyman Martin Garrick’s “Woman of the Year” today, a prestigious Honor made annually by members of the California State Assembly. Marie is Deputy Mayor of Escondido, and won a landslide re-election victory in November. “I am very pleased to honor Marie as my Woman of the Year,” Garrick said today. “She has clearly demonstrated her passion for improving her community through her work in local government and civic organizations. North County San Diego is lucky to count her among its residents.”……. To which her fellow Rostrafarians emphatically respond, “Attagirl, Marie!” 🙂
Marie Waldron and her husband Steve own and operate Top End Tees in Escondido and are extremely active in the local business community. Waldron cited this experience as a catalyst for her community involvement.
“As a small business owner and local city councilwoman I’ve been proud to help lead the fight to make California friendly to small business and jobs again. I am honored to have received this award from Assemblyman Garrick and I know that he shares my belief that getting California back to work is the real solution to our budget problems,” said Waldron.
