I am a dedicated public servant and an experienced problem solver.

Most of my professional career has been dedicated to helping others. I am usually the one people call when they have an issue that they cannot figure out on their own or when they need a think partner to help them figure out the way forward. I take great pride in being a resource for folks when they are in a tough spot. I consider myself a problem solver and a creative thinker. Difficult decisions do not intimidate me because I know that I will have evaluated the situation and made a thoughtful decision with the information that I have in front of me. If I am fortunate enough to be your selection to the City Council, I will approach my role in the same fashion. Thoughtfully, pragmatically, and with care.

By now you would have noticed that I do not have campaign signage plastered all over the City and I do not have a list of endorsements next to my name. I also do not have a list of complaints about the City’s current elected officials, and in fact, I think they have done a great job. I am running for Ontario’s City Council because I want to be part of the process of continuing to make this City a great place to live.

I hope to bring new ideas and a positive perspective. I hope to work collaboratively with the rest of the council and the rest of our regional partners to make the City a great place to live, work, and play.

If elected, I will make decisions and take actions with the you in mind. The City of Ontario’s future is bright and I ask that you help me make it as bright as possible. On November 8, 2022, vote for Michael Dueñas in the City of Ontario’s City Council Race.
