Her public service is marked by a focus on practical solutions that strengthen communities. Middleton has advanced initiatives centered on public safety, economic growth, and responsible housing development, while maintaining a strong emphasis on local accountability and regional collaboration.
At the state level, Middleton was appointed by the Governor to serve on the California Housing Partnership Board, where she contributes to policy and strategy aimed at expanding affordable housing and addressing homelessness across California. Her work reflects more than a decade of experience in housing systems, including her early career supporting individuals transitioning out of homelessness.
She has also held leadership roles with the League of California Cities, collaborating with municipal leaders statewide on policy, governance, and best practices that strengthen cities and local economies.

In addition to her public service, Middleton is the Founder and CEO of a Sacramento-based home healthcare company focused on high-acuity memory care. Her work in this space is driven by lived experience and a commitment to helping families navigate dementia care with dignity, structure, and practical support. Across every role, Middleton is known for a clear governing philosophy: listen first, act decisively, and deliver outcomes that improve everyday life for families. Whether addressing housing challenges, supporting economic development, or building systems of care, her leadership is grounded in execution, not rhetoric.
