Riverside, CA — Inland Empire United today announced its endorsement of Joe Salas for San Bernardino City Council Ward 4 in the June 2, 2026 primary election.
San Bernardino residents deserve leadership that listens, engages, and brings communities into the decision-making process. Inland Empire United believes Joe Salas brings a community-centered approach to governance, grounded in deep constituent engagement and a commitment to responsive leadership.
Salas has focused his campaign on expanding access to housing, investing in youth programs, and ensuring city resources reflect the needs of working families. He has emphasized the importance of long-term housing solutions, including integrating mental health and supportive services, while also exploring new funding strategies such as taxing short-term rentals to support residents facing housing instability.
He has also highlighted the need to invest in young people and families through after-school programs and community-based initiatives, while working to bring together labor, community organizations, and residents to shape policy. His approach reflects a belief that effective governance requires ongoing dialogue, coalition-building, and responsiveness to community input.
