QATTAWI FOR COUNCIL

"I’m committed to bringing real change to Ward 4 by focusing on safety, solutions, and community. I’m pushing for improved fire safety and brush management, better traffic flow on our busiest streets, and addressing the warehouse issues that threaten our ecosystem and neighborhoods. I also want to support the small businesses that make Ward 4 and I’m dedicated to building community through farmer’s markets, park events, and programs that bring neighbors together. Ward 4 deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and follows through to improve our quality of life."

• In early December, The Raincross Gazette featured a spotlight on Jessica Qattawi’s official announcement to run for Riverside City Council in Ward 4 in the upcoming 2026 election.

• "A longtime Ward 4 resident of nearly two decades, Jessica entered the race with a clear message: residents deserve leadership that is present, responsive, and grounded in real neighborhood concerns." 

• "Her campaign builds on years of community involvement, including work focused on traffic safety, pedestrian access, and protecting neighborhoods from incompatible development." 

• "After running for mayor in 2024, Jessica says the experience reinforced what matters most: showing up, speaking honestly, and following through. She’s now bringing that same commitment directly to Ward 4—focused on listening to residents and making sure they feel seen, heard, and represented."
