Candidate for Colton City Council, John R. Echevarria.

The upcoming General Election will hold its last voting date on November 8, 2022. For the city of Colton, there are three candidates running for Council Member- District 4, one is John R. Echevarria. Here is their statement:  John R. Echevarria Council Member "I am honored to currently Represent Colton District 5 for the past two years. Now, because of redistricting, our electoral boundaries have expanded. We will condense from six districts to four, therefore, I now look forward to also represent District 4. A Colton resident for the past 27 years, my wife and I have been proud to raise our four children here. I am a Police Officer in a neighboring city with over 26 years of experience. I received my Associate's from SBVC, Bachelor's from CSUSB, and Master's from CBU. Since elected, I have remained committed to three priorities: Community Success, Customer Service, and Public Safety. I have contributed to Community Success by organizing voluntary neighborhood clean-ups, securing grant funding for road improvements, and promoting small businesses. I have improved Customer Service by streamlining the city's response to your concerns and swiftly addressing potholes, graffiti, traffic, replacing signs, homelessness, and fixing sidewalks. Public Safety is top priority as I secured additional police and fire staff in our budget! I am so excited to serve my Colton family. I would love to keep this new positive energy flowing. I am seeking reelection and together let's keep Colton safe, clean, and enjoyable!"
