Dr. Yuan Hawkes
for Temecula City Council 2026
Temecula deserves a councilmember who listens and represents you. I have listened. My priorities are: reduce traffic, preserve open space, and create more local jobs.
In the last 20 years, Temecula's population has grown 20% while roads barely kept pace. I will:
-
reduce traffic by improving signal coordination, incentivizing employers to encourage telework, and renovating problematic intersections with roundabouts.
-
advocate for local control and push back on overbuilding.
-
reduce regulations so businesses can open, hire, and grow.
I deliver results, not empty promises. I earned my PhD in Molecular Genetics from the University of Illinois at Chicago and worked as a cancer research scientist, solving complex problems through research, data, critical thinking, and common sense. Those skills will guide my approach to city government.
For 19 years, Temecula has been my home. My husband and I were married here and are raising our family. I have served as a Temecula Community Services Commissioner (2022-25), Springs Charter School Board Director (2019-22), Toastmasters Area Director/Club President, HOA President, and homeschool educator. I am running to be your voice and serve with integrity. Vote for me to keep Temecula Safe, Smart and Strong.
