The Pacific Coast of San Mateo County

Area Served
The Coastside Democrats serves the population living west of Skyline Blvd / Highway 35 and south of the city of Pacifica in San Mateo County (a.k.a. the Coastside). The Coastside has a population of about 25,000. It is separated from the rest of San Mateo County by a range of hills to our east and north. Although it is often considered a bedroom community serving businesses in Silicon Valley it is the main agricultural area of the County. The Coastside is a thriving tourist destination with many hotels, State Parks and Beaches and a bustling harbor at Princeton-by-the-Sea serving both commercial and recreational boaters.
Our area is contained within the following political districts:
- Congressional District 16
- State Senatorial District 13
- State Assembly District 23
- State Board of Equalization District 2
- County Supervisorial District 3
