We are currently working on a multi-million dollar repaving of W. Shields Ave from Parkway Dr. to Brawley Ave.

This roadway is a major corridor for residents and drivers west of Highway 99 and creates a smooth, safe route directly to Jaswant Singh Khalra Elementary School.

There are lane closures and crews actively working so please drive carefully and stay tuned for the completed project!

Honored to stand with our community at the City of Fresno’s 6th Annual Pride Flag Raising and Harvey Milk Awards.

When we raise this flag, we’re affirming the right of every person in Fresno to be seen without apology. Thank you to everyone who showed up with open hearts to support our LGBTQ+ community and to push our city closer to the future we all deserve.

To our 2026 Harvey Milk Award honorees, your work, your voice, and your refusal to back down make Fresno braver and better.

• Dr. Sam Schmitz
• Dr. Julie Nicole
• Dr. Carol Goldsmith
• The Rev. Anna Maria Ten Bears Lopez
• Jesus Acevedo

And we honor the life and legacy of Virgil Wigley, founder of the historic Red Lantern, a pioneer whose courage lit the path long before it was safe. May we carry that light forward and continue building a Fresno where everyone can live openly and know they belong.

Dr. Schmitz came to Fresno to complete their Family Medicine residency at UCSF Fresno and has become a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ health and equitable access to care.

Investing in our infrastructure, restoring neighborhood pride, and delivering for our residents is who we are as a city.

I’m proud to be part of a team that has brought over $100M in long overdue repaving and road repair. Here, we began the repaving of Santa Fe Avenue from Ashlan to West, a road that hasn’t been paved in several decades.

Thank you to our public works crews. Each and everyday, they are out working to deliver results across our city, and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of that team.
