Our Campaign: A Commitment to Service, Not Politics
One of the core principles of this campaign is to highlight the resources, opportunities, and strengths our city already has to offer—rather than get caught up in partisan politics.
Leo Corona views his campaign not as a contest against opponents, but as an open interview for the office of Mayor. His focus is on running for the city—not against anyone. This campaign is grounded in ideas, solutions, and a commitment to public service, consistent with his core values—not political games.
Our goal is to inform, empower, and engage the community. We believe that when residents have access to accurate information and meaningful tools, they become vital partners in shaping a stronger future.
This section is dedicated to sharing documents, reports, and resources that reflect that mission. We invite you to explore the materials below and discover how, together, we can be the solution for a stronger, more successful city.

Leo’s History of Expressing Concerns at City Council Meetings
Through Leo Corona voicing concerns about the accountability of Hotel Occupancy Funds with the Council, we now have a process in place for their distribution. This is one example that led to the Council passing a resolution for greater transparency and responsible financial management.
While Councilmembers now have official city email accounts, Leo is still advocating for individual city council email addresses to be posted on the city website.
Leo spoke after the former city manager resigned, offering A Key Ingredient for Success: An Effective City Council/City Manager Relationship resource by Kevin C. Duggan.
