With nearly a year until California’s March 5, 2024 primary, the first candidate for a City Council seat has emerged. Warren Avery announced he is again running for the Ward 3 seat.
Avery first ran for the same seat in the 2020 election, which he lost to Ronaldo Fierro with 47% of the votes. Avery has served on the City’s Charter Review Committee and the RCCD Measure C Bond Oversight Committee.
“Being a responsive, accessible representative of the community will be one of my top priorities. Public safety, city services, and the impact of rising homelessness in Riverside will be my focus,” Avery says.
