Visiting Heritage Senior Living Center
On Friday 9/25/2026, I had the privilege and opportunity to sit down with some of our valued senior citizens at Heritage Park here in Rialto.
I shared a little about myself, why I’m running for Rialto City Council, and the vision behind my campaign. But more importantly, I listened.
Our seniors raised several concerns that directly affect their everyday quality of life:
• Safer walkways and pedestrian areas, especially for seniors with mobility concerns• Better roads and infrastructure
• The “benefits cliff”, where seniors may make too much to qualify for County or other assistance, but still not enough to keep up with the rising cost of living
• Concerns about rising rents and protections for seniors living on fixed incomes
These are real concerns from real residents, and they deserve more than a conversation during a campaign visit.
I will be following up with the residents, researching the issues they raised, and bringing their concerns to City Hall during a City Council meeting so their voices can be heard.
I am a true believer in advocating for others, especially our senior citizens who have already given so much to our community. They have worked, raised families, paid taxes, served our neighborhoods, and helped build the Rialto we enjoy today.
They deserve to know that someone is listening.
Thank you to Dr. Bradley for coordinating today's visit and to every resident who welcomed me, asked questions, shared concerns, and trusted me enough to tell me what you're experiencing.
Today wasn't just about sharing my vision for Rialto.
It was about hearing theirs.
I listened. I took notes.
Now I will follow up.
