About Victor
Early Life and Foundations
Victor was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. When he was 8 months old, his family moved to Pomona, where he has remained the majority of his life. Since he was a child, he has believed in the transformative power of the city. As a Pomona Unified School District alum, he has experienced firsthand the potential our children and youth can achieve.
Victor inherited a dedicated, blue-collar work ethic from his parents. At age 15, he secured his first job as a box boy at a local supermarket in Pomona, where he learned the value of integrity and reliability. Today, Victor works to develop these same opportunities for young adults across the city.
Public Service and Priorities
In November 2018, Victor was elected Pomona City Councilman for District 2. His priorities focus on reactivating parks, fostering the arts, reevaluating infrastructure, and ensuring equitable transportation.
Through his involvement in the community, he has built partnerships to create an inclusive environment and continues to connect residents with local resources. Victor has collaborated with organizations including:
-
DayOne and the Latino/a Roundtable
-
Pomona Valley Democratic Club
-
The Pomona 5K/10K Committee
-
Pomona PTAs and the African American Advisory Alliance
-
Pomona’s Promise
As part of his council duties, Victor serves on several agency boards, including the Foothill Transit board, where he emphasizes community accessibility.
Crisis Response and Food Security
In April 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Victor partnered with God’s Pantry to coordinate grocery deliveries to families in need. During the height of the pandemic, Victor and a team of volunteers delivered groceries to nearly 700 Pomona families each week.
Today, he continues this mission by partnering with neighbors to provide both cooked meals and fresh groceries for free to Pomona families five days a week.
Community Investment and Innovation
In 2022, Victor partnered with City of Pomona Community Services to seek out innovative programming for District 2. He successfully allocated over $100,000 of the City’s American Rescue Plan funds toward 15 microgrants. These funds support organizations providing free and low-cost community classes.
To further expand local resources, Victor co-organized the monthly “CommUnity Pull Up.” These resource fairs provide groceries, haircuts, and essential services directly in the neighborhoods where they are needed most. By partnering with local gardens and urban farms, Victor ensures that basic essentials remain accessible to all.
Infrastructure and Revitalization
Throughout his tenure, Victor has revitalized every park in District 2. Key accomplishments include:
-
Establishing a new skate park.
-
Adding the city’s largest playground.
-
Installing new bathroom facilities.
-
Securing funding to complete a new community garden.
-
Obtaining a $500,000 grant to begin transforming the Palm Lakes Golf Course.
Advocacy and Mentorship
As an immigrant, Victor took a deliberate stance against federal immigration enforcement actions, leading Pomona’s efforts to ensure all residents are protected from ICE.
Beyond the City Council, Victor serves as a football coach at Garey High School. He views coaching as an opportunity to mentor students, teaching them to become respectable and responsible young men.
Personal Background and Vision
Victor is an avid runner and recently completed his 10th Los Angeles Marathon. As a cancer survivor, he is deeply grateful for a second chance at life and lives every day to the fullest alongside his wife, Marisol.
As a lifelong resident, Victor’s vision for Pomona is rooted in community engagement, safety, and collaboration. He remains committed to giving back to the city that shaped him.
