About Mike

Born and raised in northwest Fresno, I’ve had the honor of serving our community not just as a resident but as a neighbor, small business owner, and dedicated public servant. As a second-generation small business owner, I learned firsthand the value of hard work, responsible budgeting, and the importance of creating opportunities that uplift families and strengthen our local economy. These lessons have guided my public service and continue to define my approach to leadership.

In 2019, the people of Fresno’s District 2 entrusted me with the privilege of serving on the Fresno City Council — a role I’ve approached with deep commitment and a clear focus on results. In 2025, my peers elected me Council President — one of the highest honors on the council — and in 2026 I was re-elected to serve a second consecutive term, something that had not happened in over 20 years.

Leadership Through Results

As a Councilmember, I’ve worked tirelessly to deliver meaningful outcomes for our neighborhoods in northwest Fresno and across our city:

Strengthening Public Safety

I have consistently advocated for fully staffed Police and Fire Departments — ensuring our first responders have the tools, training, and resources necessary to protect our families, homes, and businesses.

Growing Our Local Economy

Drawing on my experience as a small business owner, I’ve championed fiscally responsible policies that balance the budget, reduce bureaucratic barriers, and help local entrepreneurs thrive. I believe government should empower job creation and not hinder it.

Championing Responsible Legislation

In 2025, I successfully sponsored a series of council actions addressing key community concerns, including ordinances targeting metal theft, investments toward economic development partnerships, and resolutions supporting public health and business programs.

Infrastructure and Quality of Life

I’ve pushed for synchronized traffic signals, improved safe routes to schools, and completion of critical projects like Veteran’s Boulevard — investments that make our neighborhoods safer and more functional for families.

Why I’m Running for County Supervisor

Fresno County Supervisor District 1 is home to hundreds of thousands of residents, including the cities of Fresno, Kerman, Mendota, Firebaugh, and the northwest region of Fresno County. I’m running to bring bold, practical leadership to the Board of Supervisors — leadership that reflects our shared values of public safety, economic opportunity, and family-centered community investment.

Advocate for improved countywide infrastructure and safer roads.

Support resource investment for law enforcement and fire protection throughout the district.

Promote smart growth that attracts jobs, improves access to services, and ensures every community — urban and rural — can thrive.

Community First — Always

Public service is more than a title — it’s a responsibility to listen, to lead, and to deliver for the people who call this community home. Whether it’s in northwest Fresno, Kerman, Mendota, or Firebaugh, your voices, your concerns, and your aspirations are what drive my work each and every day.

Together, we can build a Fresno County where public safety is guaranteed, opportunity is abundant, and every family has a chance to succeed.
