Dawn Junea Addis (born July 12, 1972)[1] is an American educator, activist, and politician serving as a member of the California State Assembly for the 30th district. Elected in November 2022, she assumed office on December 5, 2022.

Education

Addis earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in art education and Spanish and a Master of Science in special education from San Francisco State University.[2]

Career

Addis worked as an educator in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District 20 years. In 2016, she founded the San Luis Obispo chapter of the Women's March.[3] She served as a member of the Morro Bay City Council from 2019 to 2022 and as mayor pro tempore from 2019 to 2021.

In 2018, Addis ran for the California State Assembly against incumbent Republican Jordan Cunningham in a district including all of San Luis Obispo County. Although Addis was well-funded, Cunningham won by 55% to 45%.

In 2022, redistricting moved the district north and split San Luis Obispo County, leading Cunningham to retire. Addis was elected to the California State Assembly in November 2022.[4] She is a member of the Rules Committee.[5]
