Bernardo Sandoval Bio Introduction

Integreity, transparency, and excellence are some of the qualities Bernardo Sandoval is driving forward on a campaign that can name him a new city council member for the four year seat this upcoming November.

"Like many of you I find myself deeply frustrated with the lack of transparency, and leadership, "sandoval said in regards to the $4.6 million dollar debt that the city has incurred over the last 10 years, also " the grave injustice suffered by one of our respected City Council members, the Systemic abuse of th RDA, and Council's silence on these issues. This is why I have chosen to run."

He mentioned being perplexed and confused "at the lack of accountability that has been allowed to exist in our beloved community. My goal is not just to win a seat on the Grand Terrace City Council, but more importantly to fundamententally reform our City Government," he also stated his approach by saying that, "I will sign a contract with the voters of Grand Terrace that will establish the principles by which I will govern and be held accountable too, once elected.

Sandoval has been in the field of technology since 1993. Working in the capacity of Director, his responcibilities consisted of extensive contract negotiation, the administration of Multi-million dollar budgets, effective implantation of new technologies, managing local and multinational based terms to increase efficiency and to produce cost effective solutions for complex organizations.

Sandoval worked for one of the nation's largest nonprofit land development companies and for a large regional CPA firm that was responsible for 80% of the state school districts financial audits and for various cities and municipalities. Currently, Sandoval holds a position as a Director of Technical Operations for a regional health care provider in Southern California.

Sandoval has, wit the help of his wife Francine, of 14 years, assisted in the raising of two young women. He has counseled, nurtured, and fathered Marissa and Veronica who came as teenagers to their home and found a place of safe haven when they're paths coursed with the Sandoval's. Marissa recently recieved her MBA at Azusa Pacific and Veronica is currently pursuing a degree in Marriage and fFamily Therapy.

Sandoval has spent the last 20 years mentoring young adults throughout the community. Growing up playing in youth soccer and little league in Grand Terrace, Sandoval couldn't resist giving back 20 years later by signing up to coach youth sports in the community himself. He would like to continue that effort of giving back as a community that has given so much to him and his family.
