Experienced Leadership, Fresh Perspective

Eli Beckman is a two-term Mayor, small business owner, and proven leader ready to make our government actually work for California families.

Committed to the Communities He Was Raised In

Eli is a proud product of the district he's running to represent. He grew up here, formed his earliest memories among the redwoods of Marin and the golden hills of Sonoma, and attended our local public schools. Raised alongside his twin brother, Eli went on to become an architect and entrepreneur — and never left the community he loves.

Today, he's the Founder and CEO of HAUS+, a company that builds sustainable small homes, and knows firsthand what it takes to cut through red tape and build more housing. 

Delivering Results as Mayor of Corte Madera

As Mayor of Corte Madera, Eli has delivered results on the issues that hit households hardest. Under Eli’s leadership, Marin passed its first long-range plan to protect homes from flooding and wildfire, championed a housing plan that added affordable units without sacrificing community character, and turned around the town's finances — cutting pension debt and building a rainy day fund. 

As a board member of MCE Clean Energy, Eli has pushed to bring clean energy costs below PG&E rates, saving families money on their bills, and led the push for central Marin’s wastewater treatment plant to become a national leader in generating renewable energy to power its own operations, saving taxpayers more than a million dollars a year in energy costs.

Making Sacramento Deliver for Working Families

California families are being squeezed from every direction. Wildfire and flood insurance costs are through the roof. Housing is out of reach. Healthcare and education keep getting more expensive. And Sacramento is failing to fix it.

Eli believes in a state government that's lean, effective, and focused on results for people — not bureaucracy. That means streamlining permitting, repealing redundant laws, and making every dollar count for working families.

California doesn't need more politicians who talk about change. It needs a leader like Eli who actually delivers results.

About Eli and the 12th Assembly District

Eli is a lifelong resident of the district he’s running to represent in the Assembly. A product of our outstanding public schools, he knows the value of a good public education, and attended Cal Poly’s school of architecture. Out of college, he worked at a multinational architecture firm before starting his own firm. In 2018, he was elected to the Corte Madera Town Council, becoming the youngest elected official in Marin while earning the most votes in Corte Madera history, and in 2020, he became Corte Madera’s youngest and first openly LGBT mayor. When he’s not working, Eli’s favorite activities are the ones that celebrate our home’s natural beauty and history: exploring the tidepools of the Pacific coast, hiking the Mt. Tamalpais watershed, or exploring the historic adobes of Sonoma.

California's 12th Assembly District includes all of Marin County including the cities of San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, Larkspur, San Anselmo, Corte Madera, Tiburon, Fairfax, Sausalito, Ross and Belvedere. Sonoma County cities of Cotati, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, and Santa Rosa.
