SEIU 721 Riverside members gathered on Thursday, Aug. 2, to hear Riverside Mayoral candidates Ed Adkison and Rusty Bailey provide responses to questions on issues that will affect the hard working families in Riverside. Mark Takano, Congressional candidate for District 41 (above), Richard Roth, State Senate candidate for District 31 and a representative for Jose Medina, Assembly candidate for District 61, also spoke to members before the mayoral question and answer period.
At the end of the evening, members unanimously voted to recommend an endorsement of Rusty Bailey, (left) current Ward 3 Council Member, for Riverside Mayor. The entire SEIU 721 Executive Board confirmed that recommendation and endorsed Bailey for Mayor on Aug. 8, 2012.
“Rusty Bailey’s commitment to leadership, vision and transparency will lead our city forward. He has always been approachable and we feel as Mayor he will continue to foster the relationship with SEIU 721 members to ensure residents continue to receive the quality public services that we provide and they deserve.”
– Frank Corral, Riverside City Chapter President and Graffiti Education Coordinator
