Fredrick Sykes priorities
Public Safety
I am all about keeping our streets safe. Increasing patrols and law enforcement presence is key. I'll work tirelessly to build safer neighborhoods for everyone.
Mental Health Resources
I will fight for more County funding and resources to expand mental health services, support those experiencing homelessness, and improve public safety throughout West Covina.
Clean City
Our Public Works Department deserves the tools and resources to keep West Covina clean, safe, and well maintained. I will work to implement an efficient, scheduled maintenance program for our streets, sidewalks, parks, and public facilities while improving response times to residents' concerns. Together, we can build a cleaner, safer, and more responsive city that every resident can be proud to call home.
Maintain & Grow Local Businesses
I will streamline the process for new businesses to open in West Covina, creating jobs and growing city revenue. I will also work to revitalize Downtown West Covina, Azusa Avenue, Amar Road, Nogales Street, Glendora Avenue, and Plaza West Covina into vibrant, family-friendly places to shop, dine, and support local businesses.
Safe, Clean and Vibrant Parks
We must clean, repair, and upgrade West Covina’s parks, with safety at the center of every project. I will work to clear hazardous brush at Galster Park to reduce fire risk; improve Cortez Park’s football field and snack bar; repair the basketball and tennis courts at Shadow Oak Park; upgrade the fields and snack bar at Friendship Park; improve Heritage Park; and modernize and beautify the Cortez Park Community & Senior Center. Our parks should be safe, clean, and welcoming places where children can play, seniors can gather, and families can spend time together.
Support Seniors and Veterans
Our seniors and veterans deserve reliable transportation, better access to healthcare, and more housing opportunities. I will work aggressively to secure every available state and federal grant to bring additional funding to West Covina, strengthen city services, and ensure our seniors and veterans receive the support they have earned.
