Government

Every day I am inspired by the men and women that live, work, and attend school here.

I do not take lightly that the decisions made at city hall have a direct impact on our residents. Like my neighbors, Riversiders primarily look to city hall to provide safe neighborhoods and to foster a constructive business environment where employers can offer quality jobs.

Residents also look to city hall to provide a high quality of life. Our residents want a robust transportation system, they want quality park and library facilities, they want reliable utility services, and they want diverse cultural offerings, and rightfully so. The good news is that the City of Riverside is well poised to meet your expectations.

Please explore this website to learn about this city and our strategic priorities. Most importantly, I hope that you will reach out to my office if we can be of any assistance.

Being involved in the community you live in is easy to do with the numerous opportunities Riverside has. Volunteer to learn more about your city government and operations, to form mutual partnerships with City staff, and to build community relations.
