a candidate ROOTED IN COMMUNITY
Multi-Generation Coastsider
As a multi-generational and lifelong Coastsider, my roots run deep in Half Moon Bay. I have watched our community grow, adapt, and face challenges while preserving the character, traditions, and spirit that make our town special. I am running to protect what we love about Half Moon Bay while supporting thoughtful solutions for today and the future.
My family has lived, worked, and contributed here for generations, giving me a deep respect for our history and a strong commitment to the people who call the Coastside home. I believe we can move forward together by listening, collaborating across generations, and making decisions that reflect residents’ values.
Susie Morasci's Campaign priorities
Building The Future of Half Moon Bay - Together.
I did not make the decision to run for City Council lightly. I thought carefully about what matters most to my family, friends, neighbors, and the people who call the Coastside home. I asked myself a simple question: “Can I help?” The answer was clear: yes, I can. I can listen. I can be a strong voice for the community I grew up in and love so deeply. And I can work side by side with residents, city leaders, and community partners to move Half Moon Bay forward with purpose and action.
Serving the Coastside
Susie has volunteered, coached, and served Half Moon Bay in the following ways.
Susie’s lifelong involvement in team sports—from summer softball at Smith Field to basketball and volleyball at Half Moon Bay High School and beyond—shaped her appreciation for teamwork, relationships, problem-solving, and shared goals. Which led to coaching girls’ and boys’ volleyball from elementary school kids through college students, strengthening the communication, mentoring, and leadership skills that continue to guide her community work.
COACHING
Susie is deeply involved in the Portuguese community of the Coastside. She served for six years as an officer and board member of the IDES Society of Half Moon Bay, beginning during the pandemic. Susie was only the second woman officer at the IDES in the 155 plus year existence, helping pave the way for more women to become officers During her time as an officer and director, the organization experienced some of its strongest financial years and added programs and events that helped attract new membership and renewed interest locally.
