The Endorsements

The Survey: "In their own words"

For this section, Community Forward Redlands asked each candidate the same five questions. These are their responses. Responses were edited only for grammar or spelling errors. We also made candidates aware that we will make note of any statement that includes factual inaccuracies or conjecture.

The only way our community can move forward is by preserving and protecting what made Redlands the jewel of the Inland Empire, the traditional Christian foundation and small-town system that has always worked.

What do you love most about Redlands?

The small-town feel with a Christian foundation that has made the perfect place to raise a family.

How do you define the role you're seeking as a Redlands City Council member?

The role of a council member is to always make and vote for policy that best serves the city and the people, not special interests or corporations. Council members can easily ruin a city by their policies. Just look at cities like San Bernardino, San Francisco, Chicago and Los Angeles. Once thriving cities, perfect for raising families. Now, ruined by the same policies and the same political ideology.

Editor's note: Candidate Cisneros did not specify what policies he was referring to.

If elected, what would be your top three priorities as a City Council member?

My top three priorities would be to reduce crime, stop the mismanagement and overspending of funds that forces people to pay for their mistakes with their hard-earned money by way of higher taxes and city fees, and to protect the traditional small-town feel and Christian foundation of our city.

Editor's note: Candidate Cisneros did not specify what his allegations were referring to in regard to mismanagement and overspending of city funds.

What skills and experience do you have that you believe would be beneficial to you as a City Council member? 

Serving the public for over 20 years in a diverse metropolis with millions of people in an intense problematic environment has given me the skills and mindset to be able to lead, problem-solve and work well under pressure.

If elected, what is your vision for moving our community forward?

The only way our community can move forward is by preserving and protecting what made Redlands the jewel of the Inland Empire, the traditional Christian foundation and small-town system that has always worked. I will lead our city to progress but with tradition.
