About

Ross Pike

Growing up in rural Michigan, Ross began volunteering for the Democratic Party in 2008 during President ​Obama’s first presidential campaign. In 2010, Ross became the youngest county party chair elected at age ​18.

Ross remained heavily involved with the Party and before moving to Fallbrook, served as the Treasurer for ​one of the largest county parties in the state of Michigan. In 2017, Ross moved to Fallbrook to be closer to ​family after the death of his mom. It didn’t take long before he was involved with the Democratic Party right ​here in our region.

In 2020, Ross ran for a seat on the Fallbrook Planning Group and won, becoming the first openly gay ​person elected in a community with a conservative history once ruled by the KKK. Since Ross’ historic ​election in 2020, he has worked on several campaigns including the managing of a successful school ​board campaign winning in a heavily Republican district.

In 2022, Ross became the first Democrat in Fallbrook to hold two elected offices simultaneously when he ​was elected to the North County Fire Protection District Board of Directors. He is also the President of the ​Fallbrook Democratic Club, the largest geographic club in San Diego County with over 250 members.

Professionally, Ross works with the National Conflict Resolution Center and San Diego District Attorney to ​reduce the school to prison pipeline. Ross continues working to get Democrats elected throughout San ​Diego County and shares those methods with other organizations and labor groups.
