Encinitas, CA – Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) announced that Amanda Reuther – an Encinitas resident, a passionate advocate for children with disabilities, and a community leader – has been named his April 2025 Constituent of the Month.

Amanda’s journey fighting for better policies to help children with disabilities began in 2016 when her daughter, Paeyton, was diagnosed with HNRNPU-Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder. Since then, Amanda has become a driving force for inclusion and support for families navigating the challenges of special needs education and rare diseases.

“M. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Amanda Reuther as my April 2025 Constituent of the Month. Amanda exemplifies what it means to be a champion for your family and your community.

“I recently spoke with Amanda about how cuts to Medicaid and the Department of Education threaten the well-being of children with disabilities. Amanda is speaking out and leading with compassion and strength. I’m honored to recognize her advocacy and grateful for her voice in our district.

“Amanda’s drive has no limits. In addition to her advocacy, she also serves as board president of the Special Education Parent Council for Encinitas Union School District and is the Special Education Site Representative for the Encinitas Education Foundation. She also directs community relations for the HRNP Family Foundation and leads an international support network for caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

“In addition to her advocacy work, Amanda is a professional hairstylist and longtime small business owner in Del Mar. I am honored to celebrate her as my Constituent of the Month.”
