The votes are in, and we are proud to announce this year’s Fan Favorite Award recipient, Jesus Acevedo!

Jesus has made an incredible impact as an online personality, creator, and everyone’s favorite comadre. He is uplifting voices across the Central Valley, using his platform for humor, advocacy, and inspiring us all to be our most authentic selves.

Join us as we recognize Jesus at the City of Fresno Pride Flag Raising Ceremony & Harvey Milk Awards on Friday, June 5, 2026!

I invite the community to join us for the 6th Annual LGBTQ+ Pride Flag Raising Ceremony at Fresno City Hall on Friday, June 5, 2026.

Together, we will celebrate Pride Month, honor the LGBTQ+ leaders in the community, and recognize the importance of visibility, inclusion, and belonging in our city.

The event will begin at 10 AM. We can’t wait to see you there!

The week of May 17th to May 23rd marks National Public Works Week.

In the hot sun or in the middle of a storm, our public works and public utilities teams keep our city running smoothly.

To all of our public works and utilities professionals, thank you for all you do. Happy National Public Works Week!

Congratulations to the Fresno City College Women’s Beach Volleyball Team on their historic season, winning California State Championships in both the team and pairs tournaments.

We are incredibly proud of them and the way they represented Fresno. They even brought us a vial of the same beach sand they competed on, as a special reminder of an unforgettable season.

I was proud to declare, Thursday, May 21, 2026 as “Fresno City College Women’s Beach Volleyball Team Day” in the City of Fresno. Go Rams!

I’m proud to say we completed the repaving of W. Shields from West to Weber Avenues!

Check out the before and after photos!

I’m excited to announce the beginning of the restoration work for the historic pillar at Palm and Simpson.

For more than 100 years, pillars like this one have stood as symbols of our neighborhood’s history and character. After one was destroyed in a car accident, many residents feared a piece of local history had been lost.

Thankfully, we were able to preserve most of the original stones and now our public works department has begun rebuilding this pillar by hand!

We had another great Movies in the Park at Trolley Park!

Thank you to all the residents and families who came out to enjoy a free screening of UP with our District 1 neighbors and friends.

If you missed it, mark your calendars for Friday, May 22, 2026, as we’ll be showing “TROLLS!”

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Town Hall at Williams Elementary School.

It was a great opportunity to connect directly with residents, provide updates on projects and priorities in District 1, and hear valuable feedback from the community.
