 Dear Third District Resident,
Did you know that 1 in 5 women suffers from a mental health disorder in the months before or after giving birth? This fact may not cross our minds often, but we likely all know a woman who has experienced this situation. Mothers, a source of strength and the epitome of sacrifice, do not have to manage the joys and stresses of motherhood alone.
At Riverside University Health System, we have numerous support paths for new moms. Programs such as Moms & Babies, HeRCARe, and MOMS Perinatal Program all provide tailored support to meet any expecting or new mother’s needs. If you or someone you know could benefit from these services, please contact my office or visit ruhealth.org.
I chose to highlight this important topic because, during May, we not only celebrate Mother’s Day, but we also recognize Mental Health Awareness Month. To the mothers who call the Third District home, we are grateful for all that you do. Please know that you are seen, and you are cherished.
In closing, I’d also like to invite Third District families to take an opportunity to commemorate Memorial Day. As a veteran myself, I am deeply honored to reflect on the sacrifices of our nation’s heroes and would encourage all residents to do so. Unique ceremonies will be hosted in each Third District city: Menifee, Murrieta, Temecula, and Wildomar.
Whether you are a new mom, a veteran, or a constituent in need of mental health support, the County is here for you, and my office would be happy to get you connected.
Sincere regards,
|

2025 Third District Non-Profit of the Year
I am proud to share that the Western Eagle Foundation has been named Riverside County’s 2025 Third District Nonprofit of the Year!
For over 30 years, the Sieja Family has led this vital organization in providing food to thousands of local families. From a 44,000 sq. ft. warehouse, they run programs like the Emergency Food Bag and Food Box Programs, reaching over 350,000 people each year in partnership with 16+ local nonprofits.
Their impact on fighting hunger is truly inspiring and well-deserving of this honor!

In Case You Missed It: Budget Recap
On April 30, we hosted a Budget Community Workshop to offer residents an inside look at how the County of Riverside’s budget is developed and the priorities that shape it. The Board of Supervisors plays a central role in setting these priorities, approving the annual budget, reviewing contracts, and making decisions on land development in unincorporated areas.
The workshop offered valuable insight into how the county budget is structured and how financial decisions directly impact our communities. As part of this effort, nearly 24,000 residents participated in our first-ever Community Budget Survey, sharing their priorities for county services and key initiatives. The University of California, Riverside – School of Public Policy analyzed the survey data and prepared a detailed report based on the findings.
To learn more, check out our Budget 101 Guide – a helpful resource that explains how the county funds services, how the organization is structured, and where our money comes from and goes. You’ll also find ways to get involved and have your voice heard in future county decisions.
