City of Hollister City Council Councilmember Rick Perez

Rick Perez has seen firsthand the difficulties some citizens have with broken sidewalks. Perez, who lives with a disabled veteran and has two wheelchair-bound neighbors, knows how hard it is to make it to the corner on many Hollister streets. As special operations supervisor at CBM of America, he's keen to apply his extensive background in building maintenance to help with infrastructure repairs and other issues such as road and sidewalk maintenance. Additonally, he'd like to combat Holister's recent increase in crime with more funding for local agencies, such as the police and fire departments.

First elected: Nov. 3, 2020
