A Message form Councilman Joseph J. Gonzales:

I have lived in South El Monte since 1964, attended Epiphany Catholic School, Don Bosco Tech High School and received my Bachelor of Science degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I am employed as plant manager for a local printing company. I have been a coach for many of our youth sport programs including T-ball, Peewee Basketball and South El Monte Jets Football..

I have enjoyed representing you on the City Council for the past four years. I have focused my efforts on making all city departments accountable to the residents of South El Monte. I have supported a strong law enforcement budget to keep our city safe. I have supported an aggressive rehabilitation program of city streets and city facilities using special grant funds. I requested that developors designate homes for our First Time Home Buyer Program so that residents in South El Monte have an opportunity to become home owners.

I ask for your support to continue my efforts to keep our city safe, vibrant and healthy.

Please contact me at 626-422-1253 or email me at jgonzales@soelmonte.org.

Sincerely,
