Opinion | Huge trucks would decimate California’s roads and bridges, endanger drivers Congress is considering bills allowing trucks to exceed 80,000 pounds. That would further damage California’s aging bridges and congested roads.
Honored to have served as our 2025 Mayor. This year reminded me that leadership means showing up, even in difficult moments. Proud to stand with our community. Ultimately, thankful for this year and ready to take on 2026. Happy New Year🎉

An important message from your Council Member Jorgel Chavez.
Hello Community,
My name is Jorgel Chavez and I am a resident of the beautiful city of Bell Gardens. I have resided in this city for the majority of my existence and remain active within our community.
I attend all council meetings and majority of the community events with the intention to share what is going on with the rest of our community. If I am not attending events around the city I am probably in class as I am an undergraduate/graduate student student attending the University of Southern California. I am a Master of Public Administration candidate and majoring in Political Science for my Bachelor’s of Arts. I transferred to USC in Fall of 2018 from Long Beach City College where I earned my 2 Associate Degrees in Political Science and Communication Studies. The knowledge and drive that LBCC taught me is what continues pushing me at USC.
Ultimately, I will keep this page up to date with vital information that is occurring daily and weekly. I thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope I my page was of service to you.
