About Lisa Craig
"Serving on the Lodi City Council means representing our city not only locally, but on key regional boards and commissions. I’m proud to be Lodi’s voice in these important policy decisions."
City of Lodi Economic Development Ad Hoc Committee
"As a small business owner on the Lodi City Council, I use my business and government experience to champion policies that make it easier to succeed in Lodi—and strengthen our local economy."
San Joaquin County Council of Governments
"Ensuring Measure K tax dollars are spent as voters intended means consistently advocating for Lodi and San Joaquin County District 4 projects—delivering funding for streets, roads, freeways, and transit improvements that enhance public safety and connect residents to jobs."
San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission: Chair
“Restoring rail service to Lodi was my top priority on the Rail Commission—and in November 2025, we made it happen. A new Amtrak Goldrunner midday stop now connects visitors and residents alike to Lodi’s wine country and the entire Central Valley.”
Who I Am
I was born and raised in Lodi. Like many young people, I left for college and later returned to work in my family’s trucking business. My career path then took me to the Pacific Northwest and eventually to our nation’s capital, where I spent 30 years working in historic preservation, downtown revitalization, and property redevelopment.
Across the private, nonprofit, and government sectors, I partnered with property owners, military families, government officials, and community leaders—from Annapolis, Maryland to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii—to strengthen communities and bring new life to historic places.
Today, I’m proud to call Lodi home again. I’m the mother of two grown sons, a devoted wife, and the daughter of hardworking parents who shaped my values and work ethic.
What I believe:
-
I believe in family—and the values it instills.
-
I believe in faith, freedom, tradition, and pride in our country.
-
I believe in access to a strong education for every child.
-
I believe in personal responsibility, integrity, and hard work.
-
As a Rotarian, I believe in Service Above Self.
-
As a native Lodian, I believe deeply in our city’s future.
How I Serve
In addition to serving on the Lodi City Council, I represent our community on regional boards including the San Joaquin Council of Governments and the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission.
Professionally, I am the Managing Partner of Kettleman Station, a local shopping and service center, and an independent stylist with Cabi. I’m also a proud Rotarian and an active supporter of nonprofits serving women, children, and families throughout Lodi.
