About Fredrick Sykes

---

Fredrick Sykes is, first and foremost, a devoted family man. He is happily married to his wife, Dana Sykes, and is the proud father of their son, Freddy, and daughter, Katharine. His family has been the foundation of his life—providing strength, encouragement, and a constant reminder of what matters most. Being a husband and father has shaped Fredrick’s understanding of what families need from their community: safe neighborhoods, clean and welcoming parks, opportunities for young people, and a city where parents can raise their children with confidence. The values he practices at home—love, responsibility, respect, and commitment—also guide his approach to leadership and public service.

Fredrick Sykes served 33 years as a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff, working to protect families and help keep local streets safe. His law-enforcement career taught him that public safety depends on integrity, accountability, and trust. Though retired, Fredrick remains committed to safer neighborhoods and continued service to West Covina.

As Mayor of West Covina, Fredrick Sykes fought to lower trash fees, supported our police officers and firefighters, and helped uncover major misspending by former city officials through a California State audit. He rebuilt neglected parks, expanded youth sports programs, and advanced practical solutions that connected unhoused residents with services and helped move people off the streets. His leadership focused on accountability, public safety, and delivering results for West Covina families.
