Leon "Santiago" Rivera is not a politician.
He is a leader. For over 10 years, Leon has been responding to the everyday issues that politicians ignore. From ensuring our children have access to clean water at bps schools, Cleaning vacant lots, fixing failing bridges, streets and sidewalks, to public safety in parks and playgrounds, leon has been there.
For years Leon "Santiago" Rivera has worked alongside the neighborhood's elected officials. He has worked with state Representatives and Senators to address quality of life issues. He has worked to pressure city leaders to deliver the services residents deserve.
He is the guy that neighbors count on to roll his sleeves up and lead the action; whether its organizing calls to city hall, leading a park clean up with men from the neighborhood, or pressuring elected officials to focus on the needs of residents every day.
As a father of 3, he believes every family should have the opportunity to grow in a clean, safe environment where their concerns are the focus of their Councilor.
