Meet Marco

A lifelong Banning resident, community advocate, and public servant running for City Council District 4 to bring accountable leadership, protect public services, and create real pathways to living-wage careers.

Born in Banning. Raised in Banning. Still Here for Banning.

I was born at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital, raised in Banning, and graduated from Banning High School.
Growing up, I often heard that the best opportunities were somewhere else. That "brain drain "is real, and I believe our residents should be able to build a good life here, close to the people and community they love.
We Should Be Able to Build a Future Here in Banning!

I’m running to expand access to skilled trades, healthcare, public service, small-business ownership, and other living-wage careers so residents can build their future here.

Why I am Running Now.

Residents are facing serious questions about accountability, major cuts to our parks and recreation department, affordable public services, and whether our residents can build good lives here.

We need leadership that listens, protects what families rely on, and creates real pathways to living-wage careers.

This is our home, and Banning’s next chapter should be shaped by the people who live here, not by short-sighted decisions or outside interests.

Pro-Development: Working Alongside Labor and Building Trades Council

Proudly endorsed by labor and building trades, I’ll fight for development that pays well and protects workers. I’ll work alongside both councils to advance strong wages, good benefits, safe workplaces, and local hiring and apprenticeship opportunities for Banning residents.
