YIMBY Action✓ EndorsesAbout Will Dittmar
I grew up in Virginia in a family shaped by public service. My grandmother, Virginia DeSimone, served as President of the League of Women Voters of Virginia and as a Vice President of the national League of Women Voters. My mother, Jane Dittmar, has also spent much of her life in public and community service. Their examples taught me that public service is both a responsibility and a practical way to improve people’s lives.
My wife and I chose San Anselmo as the place to raise our family, and it has become deeply important to us. I love the everyday things that make San Anselmo such a special place to live: running into friends around town, spending time outside on foot or bike, exploring the trails, watershed, parks, and open spaces around us, working in the garden, cooking for family and friends, and being part of a community where people genuinely care about their neighbors and their town.

Will Dittmar on Housing and Abundance
“I want to build on those successes, supporting the events and public spaces that bring people downtown, while making Town Hall a practical partner to businesses, homeowners, and residents through clear requirements, predictable timelines, and responsive permitting.”
“My priorities focus on housing affordability, flood preparedness, fire protection, safe streets, and a thriving downtown.”
“Protecting what we love about San Anselmo also means planning responsibly for the future, from our streets and infrastructure to wildfire and flood preparedness, housing, and the long-term health of our town.”
