Letter to the Editor

By Vickie Davis

My name is Vickie Davis, and I am excited to announce my candidacy for Rialto City Council. As a lifelong resident of Rialto, a proud mother, a licensed clinician, and a dedicated community advocate, I have spent my entire life working to uplift and support our community. Now, I am ready to take that commitment to the next level by serving as your voice on the City Council.

Rialto is more than just my home—it’s where I’ve built my life, raised my children, and dedicated my career to making a difference. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many of you to address the challenges facing our city, whether through mental health services, community outreach, or advocating for the needs of our most vulnerable residents. I’ve seen firsthand the resilience, strength, and diversity that makes Rialto so special, and I believe that our city deserves leadership that reflects those qualities.

As a licensed clinician, I’ve worked on the front lines of mental health care, helping individuals and families navigate difficult times. This experience has taught me the importance of compassion, understanding, and action—values that I will bring to the City Council. I understand the importance of addressing mental health needs in our community, and I am committed to
ensuring that everyone in Rialto has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.

But my vision for Rialto goes beyond just mental health. I am deeply committed to creating a city that is safe, inclusive, and equitable for all. This means advocating for affordable housing, improving public safety, supporting small businesses, and ensuring that our city’s growth benefits everyone, not just a select few. It also means prioritizing diversity, inclusion, and equity in every decision we make—because our city’s strength lies in its diversity.

I am not a career politician; I am a career community advocate. I understand the real issues facing our community because I live them every day, just like you.

My campaign is about people, not politics. It’s about ensuring that every resident of Rialto has a voice in the decisions that affect our lives.

I want to be that voice for you on the City Council, to listen to your concerns, fight for your needs, and work tirelessly to build a brighter future for our city. As I embark on this journey, I ask for your support, your trust, and your vote.

Together, we can make Rialto a city where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, where families can flourish, and where our community continues to be a place we are all proud to call home.

Thank you for considering me as your next City Council member. Let’s work together to create a better Rialto for all of us.

Sincerely, Vickie Davis
