Christy Holstege is a social justice attorney and community organizer who currently serves as the Mayor of Palm Springs.

 

As the Mayor of Palm Springs, Christy has helped lead the city through the COVID crisis, combat homelessness and build more affordable housing, and enhance economic development.

 

During the pandemic, Christy led the charge in enacting worker protections, supporting small business relief, and providing healthcare and other critical services to the community. This includes enacting hero pay for grocery workers, providing $300,000 in annual small business relief, and converting the Palm Springs convention center to a COVID-19 testing site, a mass food bank, and later a vaccination site where over 41,000 vaccines were administered.
