A Deep Commitment to Ward 6

For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my life to serving the families, students, and neighborhoods of Riverside. As an educator, administrator, community advocate, and longtime resident of Ward 6, I have seen firsthand the challenges our community faces — and the incredible potential we have when we work together. I am running for City Council because Ward 6 deserves a leader who listens, who understands our neighborhoods, and who fights every day to improve the quality of life for every resident.

A Lifetime of Service to Riverside

My journey began in the classroom as a Spanish teacher, later serving as a high school administrator and now as a Trustee for the Alvord Unified School District. For decades, I have worked alongside families — to ensure all students have access to high‑quality education, mentorship, and the support they need to thrive. I have mentored educators who have gone on to become principals and superintendents, and I continue to champion equity, opportunity, and student success.

Beyond the school district, I have served our city as a Commissioner on the Community Police Review Commission, where I worked to strengthen trust, transparency, and accountability between law enforcement and the community. My work has always centered on dignity, fairness, and thoughtful leadership — values I will bring to City Hall.

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS ARE SAYING

Norma brings out the best in people of all ages and backgrounds. I know this well both as an educator and community leader.

As a high school teacher, I sought out Norma’s suggestions in creating safe-learning spaces for scholars and their families. Her commitment to actively engage students within their communities through civic service provided a leadership pathway for my multilingual learners.

Many went on to college with the determination of giving back to their local government agencies.

Parents and guardians have demonstrated appreciation for Norma's humanity in securing services that will assist our communities to thrive. I am truly fortunate to have her as a mentor.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Norma during her service as a Police Commissioner, where she also served as Chair. In that role, she consistently demonstrated strong leadership, thoughtful decision-making, and a deep commitment to both public safety and community trust. Norma led with compassion while maintaining high standards of integrity and accountability.

She has a proven ability to listen, collaborate, and navigate complex issues with fairness and respect for diverse perspectives. Her leadership style is grounded in service, transparency, and a genuine concern for the well-being of Riverside’s residents.

Riverside now, more than ever, needs a leader like Norma Berrellez—someone who brings
experience, integrity, and heart to public service. I am confident she will serve our community with distinction on the City Council.

Norma and I have been neighbors for 36 yrs. We have watched the Neighborhood dynamics change many times, but one thing remained consistent. Norma always made it a point to know all neighbors, and
when she felt it was warranted, she gave constructive advice that best benefited our community.

Norma is the person we need as City Council.

My Pledge To Riverside

I will always listen to our neighbors, stand firm on our values, and always fight for what's right.
Norma Berrellez

INFRASTRUCTURE & PUBLIC WORKS

Ward 6 residents deserve roads without potholes, well-maintained parks, and reliable utilities. Norma will fight for the infrastructure investments our neighborhoods need—from Arlanza to La Sierra to Arlington—and hold City Hall accountable for getting the basics right.

PUBLIC SAFETY & COMMUNITY WELL BEING

Safe neighborhoods start with well-supported first responders and engaged residents. Norma will fight for the staffing, training, and equipment our police and fire departments need—while strengthening community policing, expanding neighborhood watch programs, and supporting wellness initiatives like the Blue Zones Project in Arlanza.

HOUSING, HOMELESSNESS & HUMAN SERVICES

Norma believes every resident deserves a path to stable housing—especially our veterans, seniors, and families on fixed incomes. She'll champion projects like Home Front at Camp Anza, expand affordable housing options, and advocate for compassionate homelessness solutions that address root causes like mental health and addiction.

PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS & YOUTH PROGRAMS

As a longtime educator and Alvord Unified School District trustee, Norma knows what our kids need to succeed. She'll strengthen partnerships between the City and our schools, expand after-school programs and mentorship opportunities, and make sure students can walk to school safely with better sidewalks, lighting, and crosswalks.
