Thank you for visiting the website for Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge. Riverside is an exciting, diverse, urban, and successful city. This webpage is designed to identify policy initiatives and to highlight success stories for Riverside, the City of Arts & Innovation.
As Mayor, I am the official spokesman for the City, interpreting needs, policies, and programs. My role is to reach out to members of the community, to encourage agreement and goodwill at City Hall, and to represent the City on intergovernmental matters.
I can be reached at (951) 826-5551 or you can email me at rloveridge@riversideca.gov. And, as we embrace and implement “Seizing Our Destiny: The Agenda for Riverside’s Innovative Future”, I welcome in particular your ‘great ideas’ for furthering one of the eleven Strategic Routes. Do you have a great idea? If so, please click on the below Seizing Our Destiny box to present it. In advance, I look forward to seeing your best calls for what could make a significant difference for the future of Riverside.

Now more than ever, it is time to come together-volunteering is critically important in 2009. It is time to answer the call for service to our neighbors and to the community. President Obama’s inauguration ushered in a “New Era of Responsibility.” It is time to take responsibility and do what’s right. To rephrase the famous John F. Kennedy inaugural quote, “Ask not what City Hall can do for you, but what you can do for Riverside." I urge you to answer the call. |
