Ronaldo Fierro was born and raised in Riverside, and has roots deeply embedded in strong Riverside values. His father Mel and mother Mary-Ann came to Riverside to raise their family as their small-business began to grow. Some of Ronaldo's earliest memories are of his father sharing stories of perseverance --working in fields up and down California and overcoming immense challenges to be able to start his own produce company.

Those values of hard work and dedication led Ronaldo to continue his father's legacy as the Vice President of Inland Premium Packers and build his own path as a successful restaurateur -- as the owner and operator of The Salted Pig and W. Wolfskill. The lessons from his father and and gratitude to the city that has provided him opportunity have led Ronaldo to volunteer his free time to working on two of the City's largest issues: protecting taxpayers and homelessness.

Ronaldo serves as a City Commissioner on the Budget Engagement Commission, which was established after the passing of Measure Z to advise the Mayor and City Council on spending and policy priorities. Ronaldo protects taxpayers by ensuring that city revenues are spent in a proper, transparent, and efficient manner.

On the Board of Directors for Path of Life Ministries, Ronaldo engages with our neighbors and the small business community to foster solutions to help our homeless population. During his time on the board, Ronaldo has worked to secure funding to expand critical services to help the most vulnerable in our City.

As our City Councilman for Ward 3, Ronaldo will continue to work to protect taxpayers and advance local priorities: creating good-paying jobs, keeping families in their homes, and strengthening city infrastructure.

Ronaldo lives in the Victoria neighborhood with his wife, Sheena and their five-year old daughter, Luna.
  • Find real solutions to homelessness by addressing the root causes.
  • Work with our local universities to attract new job-creating businesses
  • Prioritize funding to repair our roads, sidewalks and vital infrastructure.
Economic development, solving our homelessness crisis and fiscal responsibility.
