Better Contra Costa
BCC educates and advocates for a better Contra Costa
Local data, clear context, and community focus—so residents can make informed decisions and hold government accountable.
Our values
Practical priorities that keep Contra Costa livable, safe, and thriving.
We focus on clear standards, transparent data, and community action that delivers measurable outcomes for residents.
- Pro-business.
- It should be easy to open and operate a business in Contra Costa.
- Schools that put students first.
- Outcomes-focused school boards, more magnet schools, and embracing honors programs.
- Pro housing.
- End the affordability crisis by building dense, non-highrise, walkable housing near downtowns and BART stations. Cut fees and regulations that make homes more expensive.
- Safe neighborhoods.
- Every person should feel safe, from sun-up to sun-down. A fully staffed police force utilizing the latest technology should be prioritized.
- Effective government.
- Your city should be easy to communicate with, efficient, operate on publicly accessible data, and accountable to results.
- Focus on trails.
- Contra Costa is crisscrossed with incredible trails that are the envy of every other municipality. They should be prioritized and invested in.
- Tackle the drug and homelessness crisis.
- Court-ordered care for those in crisis, no one should be on the streets.
