Rialto City Council Candidate Ana Gonzalez to Speak at the Democratic Luncheon Club
“Ana has served local citizens and Democrats for over a decade. We’re looking forward to hearing about Ana’s plans for serving as a member of the Rialto City Council,” said Attorney Timothy Prince, Esq, President of the San Bernardino Democratic Luncheon Club.
RIALTO, CALIF.– Ana Gonzalez will speak to the San Bernardino Democratic Luncheon Club’s August 23rd Noon meeting. She is running for a seat on the Rialto City Council.
Gonzalez is a mother, educator, nonprofit executive director, volunteer, and community advocate. She attended public schools in Rialto.
“My first priority is to promote equal access and services to all residents. With a 76% Latino population, it’s important to provide bilingual agendas, minutes, and everything else so that the Spanish population can get involved,” said Gonzalez.
“My priorities are infrastructure, housing, health & safety, and small business advocacy.”
She also shared that one of the biggest challenges is Rialto’s unfunded pension plan liabilities—currently a $130 million deficit. “We need a plan to start paying those down. Our city can go bankrupt,” Gonzalez says. “That debt is expected to increase dramatically within the next five years. City council must prioritize making these payments instead of taking on new projects.”
Gonzalez has lived in the city of Rialto for over 27 years. “I see the needs of our residents,” says Gonzalez. “Working for an environmental justice organization, I see the needs of our communities every day and have served to bring people together and find solutions.”
California Assemblywoman Eloise Gomez Reyes and Councilman Joe Baca Sr. have endorsed Gonzalez in her run for city council. For more information, please visit voteanagonzalez.com.
