Dr. Sion Roy is running for State Senate District 24 to bring down the cost of living, secure the social safety-net and Medi-Cal, ensure a quality education for our kids, and lead the recovery effort from the January fires.

Elected to the Santa Monica College Board in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, Sion currently serves as Vice Chair, where he has championed the Certified Nursing Assistant & Home Health Aide Certificate program and facilitated the opening of SMC’s new 25,000-square-foot Malibu campus.

As an associate professor of Medicine at Harbor-UCLA Hospital, Dr. Roy has mentored countless students while advancing patient care. His dedication to education extends to K-12, where he served as President of the Malibu PTA (2023-2024), spearheaded community-building initiatives, and helped pass Measure MM to improve local schools.

In his medical career, Dr. Roy serves as a cardiologist at Harbor-UCLA. As the youngest-ever President of the Los Angeles County Medical Association, his expertise was sought by elected officials to guide the region through the COVID-19 pandemic, support public health, and shape sound policy decisions.

A lifelong member of the Democratic Party, he served as the President of the Santa Monica Democratic Club in 2016.

Sion earned his B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and his M.D. from the Virginia Commonwealth School of Medicine, with a year of service in AmeriCorps. He lives in Malibu with his wife, Kathy, and son, Kiran.

After losing their home in the Palisades Fire, Dr. Roy and his family are focused on rebuilding and supporting their resilient community, with a renewed commitment to emergency planning and public safety to help ensure a safer, stronger future.
