As a longtime Desert Hot Springs resident and a board member with Palm Springs Unified School District, I proudly endorse Scott Matas for Mayor in the upcoming election in November. Over his years of serving Desert Hot Springs, Scott's leadership has brought significant improvements to our city, including increasing public safety and emergency services, ensuring financial stability and responsibility, and addressing critical city services and infrastructure needs such as improved streets, street lighting, and sidewalks, the addition of bike lanes, a new recreation center and gymnasium, a community pool, and of course, our new library. Furthermore, his strong support for our local youth and his dedication to fostering partnerships with the school district demonstrate Scott's commitment to the future of our youth. Scott's ability to connect with people and unite them in a common vision, along with his integrity and his unwavering commitment, make him an outstanding leader. I urge you to join me in supporting Scott Matas for Mayor. With Scott's continued leadership, we can continue to work towards an even brighter future for the city of Desert Hot Springs.
