Retired CHP Sergeant and Redding City Council veteran, running to keep Redding safe, affordable, and moving forward.
Mark Mezzano has spent his career in public service, first as a California Highway Patrol Sergeant and then as a member of the Redding City Council from 2020 to 2024.
He’s running to put public safety first, keep Redding affordable, fix the infrastructure we depend on, and support responsible growth without losing what makes our community home.
See Mark’s PrioritiesPublic safety. Affordability. Reliable infrastructure. Responsible growth.
Four priorities focused on making Redding a better place to live, work, raise a family, and build a future.
Public safety is my top priority. I support stronger encampment enforcement, better coordination on mental-health and substance-abuse issues, and the law-enforcement resources it takes to keep our parks, sidewalks, and neighborhoods safe.
Redding families already carry enough financial pressure. New taxes aren’t the answer. I oppose new taxes and will focus on controlling city spending, streamlining business permitting, and supporting revitalization across all of Redding so local businesses can grow.
Roads, water systems, and basic city services can’t be an afterthought. I’ll prioritize the infrastructure Redding residents depend on every day, maintaining what we have while planning responsibly for what’s next.
Redding needs housing, investment, and good jobs, but growth should strengthen our community, not come at its expense. I support responsible development and sensible permitting that balances growth with roads, water, safety, and the character that makes Redding home.
Redding doesn’t need four separate conversations about safety, affordability, infrastructure and growth. It needs city leadership that understands how they fit together.
