I am honored to endorse Norma for a seat on the Riverside City Council. Her expertise in the fields of education and policing are critical in this important position.
I endorse Norma Berrellez for Riverside City Council!!
Norma brings out the best in people of all ages and backgrounds. I know this well both as an educator and community leader.
As a high school teacher, I sought out Norma’s suggestions in creating safe-learning spaces for scholars and their families. Her commitment to actively engage students within their communities through civic service provided a leadership pathway for my multilingual learners.
Many went on to college with the determination of giving back to their local government agencies.
Parents and guardians have demonstrated appreciation for Norma's humanity in securing services that will assist our communities to thrive. I am truly fortunate to have her as a mentor.
I had the opportunity to work closely with Norma during her service as a Police Commissioner, where she also served as Chair. In that role, she consistently demonstrated strong leadership, thoughtful decision-making, and a deep commitment to both public safety and community trust. Norma led with compassion while maintaining high standards of integrity and accountability.
She has a proven ability to listen, collaborate, and navigate complex issues with fairness and respect for diverse perspectives. Her leadership style is grounded in service, transparency, and a genuine concern for the well-being of Riverside’s residents.
Riverside now, more than ever, needs a leader like Norma Berrellez—someone who bringsexperience, integrity, and heart to public service. I am confident she will serve our community with distinction on the City Council.
Norma and I have been neighbors for 36 yrs. We have watched the Neighborhood dynamics change many times, but one thing remained consistent. Norma always made it a point to know all neighbors, and
when she felt it was warranted, she gave constructive advice that best benefited our community.
Norma is the person we need as City Council.
