Dear John,

I started this week off in San Bernardino. I presented the City of San Bernardino with $1,400,000 I secured to restore the Historic Roosevelt Bowl. 

Originally built in 1934, as a part of the New Deal’s Federal Work Progress Administration the Roosevelt Bowl has been a historic outdoor venue for concerts, plays and more. This funding will reignite the Roosevelt Bowl as an important cultural landmark and economic catalyst for the region and bring local business and our community together to share in entertainment, culture and arts. 

I also presented the Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy with $733,533 in federal funding I secured for their Empowering Youth Resilience and Promoting Social Emotional Healing program. This funding will help youth in the Inland Empire get access to mentorship programs, scholarships and tools they need to have brighter futures. 

 One of the most important things I   can do in Congress is work to make   the lives of kids better and increase   opportunities for young people to   succeed. 

 This funding is a direct investment in   Inland Empire youth and the future   leaders of our community. 

 

 

I will always prioritize the needs of our community and continue fighting for San Bernardino County in Congress.

Thanks,

 

 

 

Pete Aguilar
