The Office of State Senator Catherine Blakespear represents California's 38th Senate District from its Encinitas constituent-services office at 169 Saxony Road, covering northern San Diego County and southern Orange County. Legislation authored from this office spans environmental quality, coastal-rail connectivity on the LOSSAN corridor, and gun-violence prevention, with local implementation handled by Encinitas Parks & Recreation on trail, park, and beach-access projects. Elected in 2022 after serving as Encinitas mayor from 2016 to 2022 and as a council member starting in 2014, the senator chairs the Senate Environmental Quality Committee and the LOSSAN Rail Corridor Subcommittee. The district office has secured over $17 million in state funding for SD-38 projects, including museum renovations, trail expansions, and community farm initiatives across North County. Environmental and open-space policy priorities connect the office's state-level advocacy to local amenities including Encinitas Community Park on Santa Fe Drive, where city recreation programming and the Wednesday Encinitas Farmers Market serve thousands of residents weekly. Highest-profile legislative actions include authoring California's statewide single-use plastic-bag ban at grocery checkouts, advancing SB 1088 to clarify end-of-life care directives, and chairing the Transit Transformation Task Force on LOSSAN rail reliability.
