Some SBCUSD Board Members Unworthy of Re-election

I

would be remiss if I let another week go by without adding my voice to those of many parents, teachers, community leaders and others who have come to the conclusion that it is not only important to speak out in support of San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD) Superintendent Harry “Doc” Ervin but to also speak out against those on the SBCUSD School Board who threw their rocks and then hid their hands in the coordinated effort to oust him.

I was initially reluctant to weigh in on the call not to support these board members in the coming election due to a sense of loyalty I had relative to those among them I have supported over the years when I lived in San Bernardino

color who possibly received strong support from minority voters in the hope they would strengthen minority voices as it relates to the education of the largely minority student body in San Bernardino.

And now for these board members to violate the trust of the voters by working to force out the first Black man appointed to the position of superintendent in the SBCUSD is like stabbing their voters in the back—these people were elected in part to strengthen diversity among the district’s decision makers, not undermine it.

It was also an attempted disservice to students in the district who need role models like Ervin to show them what is possible to aspire to as a person of color.

“If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves and allow those responsible to salve their conscience by believing that they have our acceptance and concurrence. We should, therefore, protest openly everything… that smacks of discrimination or slander.”

— Mary McLeod Bethune and because I had encouraged voters I know who still live in the community to support one or the other of them over time.

But I have come to realize that what occurred relative to undermining and aggressively attempting to oust Ervin from his duties after less than four months on the job, was certainly about something more than what was publicly professed by those who spoke against him.

It is disappointing to know that not only did certain segments of the community line up against Ervin but also to realize that certain board members, who should have stood above the fray until all the facts were in and justly assessed, instead chose to align themselves against him as well.

But then, how could they be objective when they themselves were allegedly instigators, supporters of the effort to dismiss him, and/or complicit in contriving to ensure his demise.

What is exceptionally disappointing about their actions is that all three of the board members involved in this effort are people of

Were Ervin not impeccably qualified; had the board not searched far and wide before selecting him for the position; had he not led three previous districts successfully; had he not arrived with overwhelming support from leaders in school districts where he previously served; had he not joined SBCUSD without stellar support of state education officials; had he committed some grievous indiscretion or blatant violation of school district policy, I would hold my tongue.

However, readers who have followed the stress these SBCUSD board members have subjected Ervin to while he worked to establish himself in the district for no substantive reason beyond their “mean girl/mean guy” politics-certainly more befitting an elementary school playground than an SBCUSD boardroom— have come to understand the pettiness of their actions.

It is for these reasons that I believe these board members are unworthy of continued community support when they run for recontinued on page 14

ecember 2, 2021, marked the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attack at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino in San Bernardino.

The attack devastated members of the community and took the lives of 14 people, 13 of them employees of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health.

This year’s solemn anniversary also marked the opening of an exhibit at the County Museum in Redlands chronicling the creation of the Curtain of Courage December 2 Memorial. The memorial is currently under construction and planned for completion in spring 2022.

According to county officials, the exhibit displays models of the memorial and features the project’s renderings and video. It also introduces Walter Hood, a world-renowned landscape architect and artist who worked on the memorial’s creation with the families of the 14 victims of the attack and members of the December 2nd Memorial Committee.

The Redlands special exhibit runs through December 19.

Goal of Memorial Committee The Memorial Committee formed in 2016, established an overall vision for the memorial. The committee determined the memorial should recognize the broad diversity and lives of the victims

Black Voice News Selected to Host Two Additional Report for America Journalists

Breanna Reeves | Staff

F

or a second year in a row, Black Voice News was announced as a Report for America host newsroom for the 2022-23 class of new corps members. As Black Voice News renews their partnership with Report for America, the program adds 70 more newsrooms to the growing enterprise.

An initiative of The GroundTruth Project, Report for America is a national service program that partners emerging journalists with local newsrooms across the U.S. The goal of the organization is to strengthen local communities and democracy by investing in regional reporting.

As applications open for more newsrooms, Report for America will expand its arsenal of reporters to 325 in 2022. From 3 news reporters in 2017 to nearly 300 reporters in 2020, Report for America aims to place 1,000 reporters in newsrooms by 2024 in order to “fundamentally transform local news business models and ecosystems.” This goal begins with investing in local newsrooms like the Black Voice News.

“The Report for America program has been instrumental in providing needed newsroom support to help us provide quality information to our community,” said Black Voice News Publisher Paulette Brown-Hinds. “Our first experience with (Report for America) has been extremely positive and we’re looking forward to welcoming two more full-time journalists to the team.”

Black Voice News submitted a proposal for two journalists to cover two new beats: environmental justice and criminal justice — two issues that greatly impact the communities throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

The added support to news coverage of these issues will allow the editorial team to further investigate the regional air quality’s impact on health, the consequences of the booming warehouse industry on communities of color and the impacts of a changing climate on the community’s well-being.

In addition, it will expand the publication’s

ability to focus more intently on local issues related to equity in criminal justice, as well as the lack of transparency regarding questionable actions by local police and sheriff deputies. The reporter will also highlight ongoing efforts by local citizens, nonprofit organizations and local leaders to seek solutions to these persistent concerns.

The expansion of the Black Voice News editorial team within the next year also coincides with the newsroom’s 50th anniversary. Founded by students at the University of Riverside, California who recognized an absence of coverage of the Inland Empire’s Black community, the Black Voice News, will be celebrating 50 years of community-centered news in 2022.

Under the tutelage of managing editor Stephanie Williams and Brown-Hinds, the newsroom is shifting toward emphasizing

solutions-based journalism that incorporates data-driven research and justice-seeking investigative reporting.

“This will be the first time in our 50year history that we will have three full-time journalists working alongside our experienced editorial team,” explained Brown-Hinds.

In addition to supporting regional newsroom coverage and local journalists by paying up to half of the journalists’ salaries, the two-year placement supports reporters throughout the program by offering mentorships, training, peer networking and memberships to professional media organizations.

While Report for America will support half of the journalists’ salaries, Black Voice News will provide the other half. We encourage you to support the work the newsroom is doing by becoming a donor.

Medicare Advantage Supports Our Communities Sherman Garnett | VOICE Contributor

S

upporting members of my community has always been a significant part of my life. From my days as a teacher and coach, I spent most of my career working in our local education system to help children grow and thrive. But far too often we forget the caring for our communities means offering support at every stage of life, including dedicating time and resources to supporting our older friends and family.

Seniors face many challenges as they age, and health care is certainly one of them. Acting as the caregiver for several of my own family members, I have witnessed the successes and shortcomings of the health care services available to seniors.

Every day, I am so grateful that my elderly family members are enrolled in Medicare Advantage.

Medicare Advantage has been essential in providing seniors and individuals with disabilities the quality of health care that they need at an affordable price. Accessing high-quality health care should never be in question for seniors, and thanks to Medicare Advantage, enrolled seniors can rest assured they will be able to use all the benefits and services they need without paying absurd premiums or out-of-pocket costs.

What my family loves about Medicare Advantage is that even for

8 VOICE | DECEMBER 16, 2021 | theievoice.com

incredibly low premiums, seniors are not asked to sacrifice any of the benefits they need to feel healthy. In fact, Medicare Advantage beneficiaries can access an even greater array of services that those on original Medicare.

This program is not just about meeting physical health needs. It’s about giving seniors peace of mind that they are supported and cared for, which means family members like me who are acting as caregivers can feel peace of mind as well. Without this program, families like mine would have to worry if our parents, grandparents, and loved ones are getting the care that they need.

As a life-long advocate for supporting the communities I am a part of, I encourage our representatives in Congress to fight for Medicare Advantage. This program works to meet the needs of our seniors across the country and has become a critical part of nearly 3 million seniors’ lives here in California. Any potential cuts to the funding of this program could result in critical health care coverage suddenly becoming out of reach.

Q: When and how did you decide to run for the office of Mayor of Moreno Valley?

A: It’s something that I’ve known for a few years now, that one day, I wanted to run for mayor. Once I got elected [to the city council], and I let some people know, some of my colleagues know that ‘hey, one day, I will be running for mayor, just to give you a heads up.’ And so right now, it’s going to be an open seat.

Our current mayor is going to leave that seat and I think that it’s time for someone new, a new leader to step up and lead the city. I officially decided to run in February.

Q: Do you think your work and experience as a council member prepared you to run for this position? If yes, how so?

A: Yes, absolutely, it has prepared me. There’s work that the public gets to see, that the residents get to see firsthand whether that’s through things like volunteering at food banks and food pantries or doing Reading Across America and going to the schools and interacting with other public agencies. So people see that first, but then there’s also a lot of things that happen outside of the public arena, if I can say — things that you do at City Hall, all the meetings that you have, whether that’s talking to the city staff, or talking to private sector partners, or nonprofit organizations, or the clergy, there’s a lot of work that happens behind the scenes that people don’t get to see. It’s a little bit more of the day-to-day operation.

Q: What do you believe is the role of mayor? What unique qualities would you bring to that role?

A: There’s several responsibilities and roles that a mayor has to fulfill.

It’s kind of difficult to pinpoint one as being the most important. But if I had to, if I had to identify one, it would be the role of a representative.

You are the face of the city as the mayor and you’re representing all the residents within your jurisdiction. And so, we have to make sure that we’re representing the city in the best viable way and that goes on through our actions, through our words, how we present ourselves, how we present ourselves to other cities. When people interact with the mayor, they interact with all the residents of the city. That's the most important thing, making sure that we have the most positive image that we possibly can.

Some of the unique qualities that I would bring, obviously, I'm on the younger side, for an elected official. I was elected at 22 years old, which I’m extremely proud of (as) the youngest elected official ever in the city of Moreno Valley. I also happen to be Mexican American, the son of Mexican immigrants. I was born and raised in Compton, so I don’t come from money, I don’t come from politics. I’m a father as well. I’m firsthand experiencing what it is to raise a child in this world and making sure that as a father, I do everything I can to provide for my family.

Moreno Valley is a very young city demographically and another unique thing that I bring as a millennial is that I grew up with technology.

That’s not something that a lot of your typical elected officials can say, but I can say that. continued on page 12

When the Economy, Logistics, Color, and COVID-19 Collide in the Inland Empire Breanna Reeves | Staff

T

he Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) hosted its 12th Annual Southern California Economic Summit this month, detailing projected regional outcomes based on economic impacts and influences such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

SCAG’s report recognized the detriment of the pandemic on the residential and employment markets, but emphasized the growth rate of the logistics sector in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.

“The rapidly expanding Logistics sector (Trucking, Warehousing, Wholesale Trade) is where the area has a competitive advantage due to its huge infrastructure of e-commerce facilities, warehouses, railyards, and airports,” SCAG’S Regional Briefing Book reported. “Where the other two forces have inhibited employment, logistics jobs have soared, mitigating the impact of the COVID-19 downturn on the region.”

The Impact and Recovery Analysis of the region concluded, “In 2022, the region’s economic health should improve as the service sectors and housing markets heal while logistics benefits from high e-commerce demand and import levels.”

As local and state agencies are concerned with the region’s economic health, local environmental organizations such as the Center for Community Action & Environmental Justice (CCAEJ) and environmental researchers are more concerned with the health of the community.

As San Bernardino and Riverside Counties rapidly grow in terms of population size and the logistics industry expands, increased levels of air pollution continue to saturate the region. According to an annual American Lung Association report, San Bernardino County ranks number one on the list of the 25 most polluted counties for ozone pollution, followed by Riverside County. The 2021 “State of the Air” report concluded that more than 40 percent of Americans are living in regions with unhealthy ozone or particle pollution.

Overlapping Factors to Health Exposure In 2020, Riverside and San Bernardino residents experienced 203 days of elevated ozone and/or small particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5), according to the Environment America Research & Policy Center. In other words, residents of the Inland Empire spent more than half the year inhaling harmful levels of air pollution, in addition to living in a pandemic.

Coupled with intersecting factors of geography, race, class and the fact that Black and Brown employees account for 43 percent of all essential workers in the nation, communities of color are overwhelmingly at risk.

As the pandemic continues to surge and disproportionately impact communities of color, researchers at the University of Riverside, California (UCR) published “Intersectional perspectives on COVID-19 exposure,” a commentary that examines air quality and susceptibility to COVID-19 using data from California OEHHA CalEnviroScreen database, as well as

overlapping vulnerabilities that contribute to inequitable health outcomes.

In scrutinizing the link between air quality and COVID-19, the authors insist that an intersectional lens must be adopted to fully understand the disparity of health effects as it applies to communities of color in the Inland Empire.

The commentary states that the approach must address “the compounding effects of overlapping and interdependent systems of oppression, in this case, race and class” which is “vital to addressing the health effects of structural and systemic racism and class inequality that are often rendered invisible due to either lack of attention, or narrow perspectives that study these factors in isolation.”

“So, there’s two types of exposure: there’s exposure to COVID-19, and then exposure to the air pollution, and then how they intersect. And so, the other thing that we are familiar with is that we saw the data was just starting to come in about how people who were exposed to fine particle pollution were more likely to have extreme Covid and severe illness and death from Covid,” explained Bronwyn Leebaw, one of the authors of the commentary and an Associate Professor of Political Science at UCR. “And so, from our backgrounds in environmental justice, we are aware that proximity to health hazards associated with air pollution is highly unequal and correlated with race,” Leebaw continued.

Research published in September and funded by the Environmental

E

S T O R Y Protection Agency (EPA) found race is a significant factor for exposure across nearly all states in the U.S. The study observed that people of color experienced “greater than average” exposures from various sources, resulting in 75 percent of overall exposure compared to 60 percent of overall exposure for White people.

“Of the emission source sectors that cause the largest absolute disparities, four out of the top six source sectors are the same for POC, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians: industry, light-duty gasoline vehicles, construction, and heavy-duty diesel vehicles,” the research specified.

hired workers as online shopping continued.

According to the commentary, “People of color and those with a lower income have a higher exposure to air pollution, particularly in the inland region of Southern California, in which Riverside and San Bernardino Counties have disproportionately high populations of color as well as high poverty rates. Significantly, the Amazon Fulfillment Centers, which are among the top employers in the region, are in and adjacent to Ward 1, where 77 percent of the population identified as Hispanic origin, and where poverty and asthma rates are among the highest in California.”

An Ongoing Battle for Community Health Community-centered Approaches to Research Residents of the Inland Empire are aware of the disparities that Dr. David Lo, Senior Associate Dean for Research at the UCR and exist within the community due to the logistics industry, evidenced by Director of the Center for Health Disparities Research, explained ongoing conflicts between residents that disparities associated with and city governments who fail to environmental exposures and pollution adequately regulate and effectively have existed for a long time and will conduct environmental reviews of new always need to be addressed, but warehouse construction projects. with the added layer of COVID-19 the In November, the CCAEJ called for disparities are further exacerbated. community support to denounce two Part of Dr. Lo’s research at the new projects that are expected to come Center for Health Disparities and the to the city of Bloomington.

The Interview, continued from page 12

Q: What other personal/professional experiences or attributes do you have that make you qualified to be the Mayor of Moreno Valley?

A: I’ve studied a lot when it comes to policy making, and how to run different types of government and systems of government and how to interact with the public, how to interact with your constituency. So, not only am I experiencing that firsthand, but my education also gave me a background in that, in addition to an emphasis on law. That’s something as an official we have to be prepared for as well because different issues come up and you must be able to face those issues head on and know what to do in those situations.

I’m also a small business owner. I run a small business. I have for several years now.

It’s a family business in residential general contracting. My company has been published in multiple magazines as a top contractor in the Inland Empire.

We’re a small operation, but you can look up our reviews online and it’s all five stars. At the very front [as a business owner], and as an elected official, is customer service.

Q: As we enter another year of the pandemic, what are some pressing issues you think need to be addressed in Moreno Valley?

A: There’s a lot of tough decisions that we (city council) had to make. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of people lost their jobs, a lot of people got sick (and) unfortunately, many passed away.

And so, there were a lot of tough decisions that the council had to make over the past two years or so, to make sure that we were taking care of our city and taking care of our residents. And I’ll provide you with some concrete examples.

Just yesterday at our council meeting that ended at like 11 o'clock at night last night, we approved additional funding for utility systems for those residents who are struggling to pay their electric bills.

We also approved a million dollars — this is something that I’ve been pushing for, and finally

Ulises Cabrera stands with supporters of his mayoral campaign (Photo courtesy of UlisesforMayor.com).

we got it. We approved a million dollars to work with the Salvation Army and find homeless folks temporary shelter, whether that’s hotels or motels, while we find them permanent housing.

I’m also very vocal…open, and vocal about creating temporary housing for the homeless. In Moreno Valley we have zero shelter beds, zero, we have none for the homeless. Riverside has hundreds.

Moreno Valley being the second largest city in the county, we can’t just expect someone else to solve the problem for us and we just do the bare minimum. Riverside has these pilot homes or tiny homes, some people call them. Basically [it is just] a small room for bridge housing where we can provide the wraparound services for mental health, drug addiction, health care and all of that. That’s one of the things I will continue to advocate for.

The city has just grown exponentially and with that has come a lot of developments, both residential, and a lot of industrial development–a lot of warehouses. I bring this up because I want to talk about jobs. Moreno Valley is ready to take that next step when it comes to the types of jobs that we bring to our city.

We need to put emphasis or more focus on the quality, the kind of jobs that we’re bringing to our city. I think that we have reached that point

12 VOICE | DECEMBER 16, 2021 | theievoice.com

where we have enough entry level, minimum wage kinds of starting jobs. We are ready to bring in more of the higher wage, higher quality career opportunities such as in the technology sector. At Moreno Valley College, they have a very extensive cybersecurity program. They have a makerspace with 3D printers, additive manufacturing, bio printing, coding. The city is in a good position with all the logistic centers we have here, to capitalize on that. So how do we bring in those private sector partners?

In addition to that, we have two major hospitals [here]. The county hospital (and) we have Kaiser as well. The county, just earlier this year, completed its expansion and Kaiser is currently expanding. Those are high-paying jobs [at the hospitals], from the janitor all the way up to the surgeon. Those are high-paying and in many cases, union jobs, as well. That’s more of what we need, that’s what Moreno Valley residents deserve.

Another area is education. I have recurring conversations with the college about how do we not only work together to bring in those higher quality jobs from out of town, but how do we also create an incubator? How do we foster those entrepreneurs?

We know throughout the country small continued on page 17

Ring in the New Year with Health Care Savings

O

ver the last couple of years the COVID-19 pandemic and its Delta and Omicron variants have highlighted the importance of our health, and the value of comprehensive health coverage.

The American Rescue Plan has made quality health care coverage more affordable than ever. This is largely due to the new and increased financial help included in the law that has dramatically increased the Affordable Care Act subsidies now available to Californians in nearly every income bracket.

This makes it possible for more consumers to get covered and stay covered with comprehensive, name-brand health insurance.

Now is the Time If you or someone you know is uninsured, or has coverage directly from a health insurance company, now is the time to check out the health insurance options available through Covered California.

Covered California is part of the Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare, and it’s the only place you can go to get financial help to bring the cost of health care coverage within reach.

Currently, an estimated 1.1 million Californians are uninsured and eligible for financial help. The overwhelming majority, about 940,000 people, are qualified for no-cost health care coverage through either Covered California or Medi-Cal. Even if you do not qualify for $0 health plans, many people can get health coverage for less than $10 per month.

Help for Middle Income Californians Middle-income Californians who were previously ineligible, may now qualify for federal financial help to purchase health care due to the new

provisions available through The American Rescue Plan.

For example, an estimated 260,000 Californians purchase their coverage directly from a health insurance company, without any financial assistance. They can switch to Covered California, and in many cases keep their same health plans and doctors, while also saving hundreds of dollars a month.

Benefits of Health Insurance Health insurance protects individuals and families financially if an injury or illness results in a visit to the emergency room or hospital, while preventive care helps keep yourself and family members out of the hospital in the first place. This is especially important for African American communities which experience higher rates of chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and other conditions that have also made them more vulnerable to the ravages of the coronavirus.

Enrolling for health care coverage is easy To find out whether you are eligible for financial help and what your health coverage options are, visit www.CoveredCA.com. Just enter your age, ZIP code, household income, and the ages of those who need health insurance and you can see your results right away. You can also call the Covered California’s Service Center at (800) 300-1506 to enroll in a health plan.

For those who sign up by Dec. 31, your health coverage will begin New Year’s Day 2022. If you miss that deadline, you have until the end of the open enrollment period on January 31, to sign up.

KEEPING IT REAL Some SBCUSD, continued from page 3

election.

Times are changing and these changing times are providing long fought-for opportunities to create equity through representation in many important areas— our school districts among them. The goal is to move our communities forward and not back in all areas where barriers to progress have persisted. In no area is that more essential than as it relates to the education of all of our children.

Those in positions of leadership who are unwilling to share power, who are unwilling to change the way “things have always been done” or who criticize—without constructive input, and who become barriers to progress should not be re-elected. They, themselves, SBCUSD Superintendent of Schools Harry “Doc” Ervin (source: facebook.com) should be held to account for their own poor judgement.

For these board members to act as if they alone have the best ideas, who lead with the mindset of “I alone can fix it,” regardless of their race or position, are evidence they are not the kind of leaders needed during these days of change and uncertainty. In truth, they are not the kind of leaders we need any day in the future of the SBCUSD School Board.

I will close by calling the names of those I and others deem no longer worthy of your support and encourage you to vote against them. They include: Dr. Barbara Flores, her term ends in 2022 Abigail Rosales-Medina, her term ends in 2022 Danny Tillman, his term ends in 2022 There are seven members of the San Bernardino School Board and I find it interesting that the three listed above are not only the ones tied to efforts to undermine Ervin, they are also the only three of the seven board members standing for reelection in 2022.

I wonder if there is something else binding them together in their actions. Should we be following the money to learn who is funding their reelection campaigns? There must be a reason for their efforts to slander the reputation and potentially destroy the career of a highly acclaimed Black professional without just cause. Perhaps further investigation will reveal an inconvenient truth?

I’m just saying.

As always, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

as well as those who stepped up to preserve and protect life. The memorial would also provide enduring recognition of the county employees who witnessed the attack, many of whom were physically injured and all of whom were emotionally impacted.

When completed the memorial is intended to be a space to reflect on the many important and unique people, stories, and lessons of December 2nd “appropriately and eternally”.

As expressed by San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman in a press statement, “The Curtain of Courage Memorial will be a place of reflection where the community can unite in spirit with the families of those lost and injured in this unimaginable tragedy. We will never forget their stories and are honored to have Mr. Hood work on this project which will serve as an enduring reminder about the courage and impact each individual had in this county.”

More About the Designer Hood, a landscape architect, is the creative director and founder of Hood Design Studio in Oakland. He is also a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and lectures on professional and theoretical projects nationally and internationally.

He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award for Landscape Design (2009), the Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award (2017), a Knight Public Spaces Fellowship (2019), a 2019 MacArthur Fellowship (commonly referred to as the “Genius Grant”), and the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize (2019).

Hood’s book “Black Landscapes Matter” will be available in the County Museum store during the exhibit.

The San Bernardino County Museum is at 2024 Orange Tree Lane, at the California Street exit from Interstate 10 in Redlands. The museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. General admission is $10 (adult), $8 (military or senior), $7 (student), and $5 (child aged 5 to 12). Children under five and Museum Association members are admitted free. Parking is free.

businesses are the ones that create the most jobs. So, this issue with ‘brain drain’ that Moreno Valley has had for a long time, where our college students are getting their degrees, getting their certificates, and then leaving for San Francisco, Silicon Valley, or they’re going to Boston or Austin or Phoenix to get those jobs because that’s where they are. How do we give them the opportunity to not only get their education, but how do we give them the opportunity to stay in Moreno Valley, (and) create the next Amazon or create the next Tesla?

Those are things that I’m very passionate about.

Q: What would be your first priority, if elected (*like measuring the first 100 days of the presidency)?

A: I would make sure that on the education side, we continue expanding what we’re already doing, helping to pay for more tuition for the students, for sure. I would like to do at the beginning of my tenure as mayor as well, is making sure that the city, together with the college district and the private sector, creates a pipeline for our residents to get training and certificates and jobs in things like electric vehicles, renewable

energy, whether that’s solar or electric vehicle charging stations, or cybersecurity.

The California Air Resources Board opened a new facility in the city of Riverside, just outside of Moreno Valley, and this is a major opportunity for the city to capitalize on. They’re making electric vehicles in our city. And not only do we have Karma, but the same building has AYRO, they make electric utility vehicles or smaller little vans. That’s one area I want to put more emphasis and focus on and [direct] more resources toward because those are the things that pay higher wages.

Q: If elected, ​how do you plan to involve residents in the decision-making process in the city?

A: I will continue building on things that I’ve already done and implement some new things.

One of the techniques I implemented in the past is having town halls. I know it sounds cliché but having town halls at public spaces like the Lasselle Sports Park. I’m going to have another one in the next couple of months to give residents an opportunity to come out, ask questions, and voice their concerns. Also, I can give them continued on page 18

updates on what’s happening around the city.

So, hosting more town halls. And I know some elected officials do what’s called telephone town halls. Our own mayor has one coming up. I think that’s a really good idea. Our superintendent was the one who first started the telephone town halls [here] because it provides easier access for more residents to interact.

Those are things that I would absolutely love to do.

I recently started a newsletter, as well, for my district and (it’s) something I have not done before. I started it just to update my constituents so that people know what’s going on. That’s one of the most important things in a democratic republic. We have to have a well-informed public.

Also, if we don’t give the residents an opportunity to give their input and share their opinions with us, we’re doing them a grave disservice.

Q: What is one thing you believe the current mayor is doing well?

A: When it comes to education, you definitely cannot take that away from him. He’s an educator himself. He has been for a long time and he’s very, very supportive of increasing educational attainment, as am I. He brings that unique perspective to the table. He sees through the lens of a teacher.

Q: Is there one thing you believe needs to be addressed that the current mayor may not have addressed?

A: When it comes to industrial development, the growth of the logistics industry in Moreno Valley, I tend to be a little bit more aggressive [about] asking for environmental mitigations to make sure that developers are implementing certain construction standards like LEED certification, to make sure they’re reducing air pollution, water usage, and using the best possible technology they can like air filtration, and reducing the number of trucks that come to the city. All those things. That’s one area where I've been a little bit more vocal. I care a lot about the environment. We don’t have the best air quality. We actually have very bad air quality in the Inland Empire.
