RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Inland Empire United is proud to endorse Luz Perez for Fontana City Council, District 4, recognizing her commitment to working families, community-centered leadership, and ensuring Fontana’s growth creates opportunity for everyone.
Strong cities are built when working families have a voice in the decisions that shape their neighborhoods. Inland Empire United supports leaders who prioritize economic opportunity, environmental health, and accountable government that responds to community needs.
As a working mother and lifelong community advocate, Perez is running because she believes Fontana has reached a turning point. While the city continues to grow, she believes too many families are still struggling with rising housing costs, traffic congestion, poor air quality, and a lack of meaningful investment in the neighborhoods where residents live and work.
Her campaign focuses on creating family-sustaining jobs, protecting affordable housing, improving neighborhood infrastructure, and ensuring development benefits the people who already call Fontana home. She has consistently emphasized that economic growth should strengthen working families through local hiring, strong labor standards, and investments that improve quality of life.
Perez has also demonstrated her commitment to community advocacy by helping successfully oppose the rezoning of her family’s mobile home park from residential to industrial use. That experience reinforced her belief that residents should never be displaced or ignored in favor of powerful interests and that communities deserve a meaningful seat at the table before decisions are made.
Throughout her campaign, Perez has highlighted the importance of environmental justice, immigrant rights, and transparent local government. She believes city leaders should listen first, engage residents early, and ensure public decisions reflect the voices of the communities most affected.
Inland Empire United is proud to endorse Luz Perez because of her commitment to working families, accountable leadership, and building a healthier, more equitable future for Fontana.
The November General Election will take place on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. To learn more about Inland Empire United’s endorsed candidates, visit https://ieunited.org/2026-endorsements/.
