Caity Maple

Caity Maple is a small business owner and Sacramento City Councilmember representing District 5, which includes the South Sacramento communities of Oak Park, City Farms, Carleton Tract, Hollywood Park, Brentwood, Golf Course Terrace, Woodbine, Pollack Ranch, Parkway, and Valley Hi. She has spent her career fighting to bring neighborhood voices to the forefront and advocating for policies that uplift all.

Councilmember Maple began working in the field of governmental relations and advocated for safe access to legal cannabis, ending animal testing of cosmetic products, and ultimately, served as Vice President of Government Affairs for Perfect Union, a Sacramento-based cannabis company that was one of the first in the nation to unionize. That work allowed her to travel the state, getting to know local communities and learning from leaders across California’s diverse regions to build regulatory systems, bridge gaps in their local funding mechanisms, and ensure safe access to tested products.
