Meet Clara Martinez as she is running for a Lansing City Council seat. Clara, in her first try for the Lansing City Council is hoping to win one of two At Large seats available this year. The term will run until 2030 and she will facing off against three other candidates on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
From her website: Clara Martinez is a Lansing public school teacher, proud union member, and passionate community leader. As Dance Director at Everett High School, Clara inspires every day through creativity, movement, and mentorship. A lifelong advocate for education and the arts, she has dedicated her career to uplifting young people and strengthening our neighborhoods.
Her leadership extends beyond the classroom. Clara serves as a Commissioner on the City’s Arts & Culture Commission and as a Board Member for All of the Above Hip Hop Academy. She’s also been recognized nationally for her work in arts education, equity, and leadership development.
Clara is running for Lansing City Council At-Large to bring fresh energy, collaborative leadership, and a deep commitment to Lansing’s future.
I believe Lansing should be a city where every resident, regardless of background or income, has the opportunity to thrive. That means investing in safe and affordable housing, ensuring strong city services, and creating pathways for our children to succeed. It means building safer neighborhoods, enhancing public spaces, and making it easier for families to access the resources they need.
But this vision isn’t just about policy – it’s about people. By fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and collaboration, we can create a Lansing where every voice is heard, and every community is valued. Together, we can build a city that works for all of us.
