As Tran steps into her Mayoral role, her top priorities still include restoring trust in local government, COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery, and reducing homelessness

“I plan to build housing and emergency accommodations fast by identifying new funding and cutting red tape to ensure that there are places for people experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness to go In addition, I’ll expand mental health services within the City, county, and state levels to create new comprehen- sive mental health care so that those with severe mental illness are in treatment, not on the sidewalk It’s also important for us to work with drug and alcohol treatment service providers to help unhoused people transition to stable life and employment and break destructive patterns of behavior,” said Tran

Tran also said she looks forward to building a transparent and visible functioning local government to help rebuild years of lost trust after the City’s bankruptcy and other scandals

“This will require bringing together important community leaders and practicing good governance in the City Additionally, I want to develop partnerships with the County of San Bernardino and the State of California to facilitate shared services throughout the City, allowing for improved services and savings Finally, I want to focus on simple good governance by expanding parks and open space, rebuilding streets and sidewalks, and removing trash and other blight from our streets,” concluded Tran

Also at the Instillation was the City’s former Mayor, John Valdivia, who served as a council member from 2012 to 2018 before his controversial 4-year term as mayor, which began in 2018

“I wish the mayor and council members the best as they work collaboratively to move the City of San Bernardino to greater heights I look forward to working with them towards a better future for the Inland Empire,” concluded Reyes
