Hector Marin has become a recognizable name throughout Santa Cruz over the past four years. He’s twice run for Santa Cruz City Council, first against Greg Hyver and current District 4 City Councilmember Scott Newsome in 2022, and again in 2024, when he challenged District 2 City Councilmember Sonja Brunner.
