Former Mayor Paul Foster stated that, “while the City’s economy was doing okay for the moment, without continued growth of business in our City, that economy could very well falter.” Mario supports entrepreneurs and small business start-ups here in Redlands, and has familiarity with how grant programs, public-private partnerships, and other such mechanisms can help us to promote established as well as new businesses. Mario is a long-time union member and supports our local labor unions as they strive to build better lives for Redlands’ workers.
