Chris Duncan is an accomplished Homeland Security attorney and Mayor Pro Tem of San Clemente.

Chris will make sure everyone who calls San Clemente home can afford to live here, and that starts with approving housing developments that the average family who lives here can afford. Chris will fight developers who try to ruin the historic charm of San Clemente with stack and pack housing developments. Instead, Chris will advocate smart growth, which will allow the construction of affordable housing units and keep the look and feel of our city the same. Chris believes housing structures should be strategically placed near transit hubs and shopping centers to improve walkability and not congest our roadways. Chris's plan will increase home ownership and raise the incomes of residents, which is a goal the city must always strive for.
