Priorities:
  • Riverside needs an increased focus on economic development. We have good programs, but they are understaffed and insufficiently promoted.
  • Our business attraction programs should seek job intensive businesses that pay a living wage, not low wage land intensive businesses.
  • Our Public Safety services are significantly understaffed. We need 50 new police officers and two new fire stations in the next four years.
