Tina Inscoe is the Republican Party of San Diego County’s endorsed candidate for Escondido City Council District 2.
Tina grew up living in many different states and other countries as a result of her father’s service in the United States Air Force. His retirement brought her to Escondido, where she graduated from Escondido High School. After high school, she attended Palomar College for language and theater arts.
“I love Escondido and over the years I have gotten to know it very well,” Inscoe explained. “I will work tirelessly to make our community the best city in the region. I have the energy and drive that is required for the job and I will not let you down.”
Tina’s interest in the founding of the California Center for the Arts led to her employment there, being among the first to be hired for over 25 years. Positions she has held there include Director of Annual Giving, Director of Individual/Major Giving and Special Events, and Director of Community Affairs.
She engaged in community service through her participation as a board member and president of the North County Philanthropy Council for the last two decades. Inscoe served the Escondido Charitable Foundation for three years, and recently as a Membership Executive for the Escondido Chamber of Commerce for nearly two years.
Within the community, Tina was a member of the Escondido Rotary Club, where she served as the Chair of the Scholarship Committee and engaged in the Music Committee, as well as the Coeur de Cuisine Annual Fundraiser Committee. For several years, she was on the board of the Escondido Education Compact. Currently, she is a board member of the Palomar Health Foundation and participates on the Community Relations Committee and other foundation-related committees.
Tina strongly supports businesses, police, and firefighters, so it’s no surprise that promoting economic growth and public safety are two of her biggest concerns. She is also very encouraging of civic institutions within Escondido. She identifies her priorities as neighborhood beautification and blight elimination, supporting and improving public safety, reducing traffic congestion, improving roads and infrastructure, balanced budgets, protecting youth recreation programs, and open spaces and parks.
However, she is also looking to include everyday people in decision-making, something that many elected officials neglect. “Please call me to share your priorities for Escondido,” Inscoe said. “Your priorities will always shape my priorities for our city, and I’ll always be personally available to you.”
Tina has been endorsed by State Assemblywoman Marie Waldron, former Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfelier, Escondido Councilman Mike Morasco, Escondido City Treasurer Doug Shultz, Escondido Police Officers Association, and Escondido Unified High School District School Board President Dane White.
