Re-Elect Sheriff Chad Bianco

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is the elected Sheriff, Coroner, and Public Administrator of Riverside County.  He is a twenty-five-year veteran of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, and serves as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the County.

Riverside County was created from sections of San Bernardino and San Diego Counties in 1893. It was a one-man department. Today, the Department is responsible for 7,300 square miles which extends over 200 miles in length and approximately 50 miles in width. Riverside County is the fourth largest county in the State of California, with more than 2.4 million population in 2019. With a staff of over 4,000 dedicated men and women, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department is now the second-largest Sheriff’s Department within the State of California, and most progressive law enforcement agencies in the nation, supervising more than 3,600 personnel.

Sheriff Bianco joined the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in 1993.  He began his career in Corrections at the Robert Presley Detention Center, and spent time working patrol and narcotics in the City of Lake Elsinore.  Bianco held supervisory and management positions at the Jurupa Valley Station, Moreno Valley Police Department, the Larry D.  Smith Correctional Facility, and the Hemet Station.  Chad also served administrative assignments in Internal Affairs, and Corrections Administration and Planning.

Chad Bianco, and his wife Denise, live in the Woodcrest area of Riverside. He believes in service above self, and hopes that his priorities of God, family, and service provide meaningful guidance and direction to the Sheriff’s Department.

With BLM, defund the police politics, riots and demonstrations rampant in our state, Sheriff Bianco will provide interesting insights into law enforcement. You won’t want to miss a ‘from the horse’s mouth’ assessment of what is happening with police efforts to maintain law, order and security in California. Plan to come, and bring a friend.

Ben Benoit

Mayor Ben Benoit is a candidate for Riverside County Auditor-Controller.

Ben grew up in the Coachella Valley, and started his own computer networking business about 20 years ago. After moving to Wildomar, he worked to incorporate Wildomar as a city to bring local control to the community, and Ben was elected as mayor in 2012. He is a past president of Wildomar Rotary.

Mayor Benoit serves in the Western Regional Council of Governments, which won The President’s Award for Excellence; and serves in the Southern California Association of governments. He is a strong supporter of clean energy, and serves on two conservation boards. Ben serves on Riverside County Transportation commission, and has helped further Metro-links into Riverside County.

Cheryl Benoit and the late John Benoit (California Assemblyman, Senator, and County Supervisor) are his parents. His daughter Abby is the reason he became involved in politics. He wants to ensure a better quality of life for her generation.

We need an Auditor Controller who will fight for taxpayers. Ben wants to restore accountability and end the wasteful spending that has reached an all-time high in Riverside County.

Darlene Casella, Vice President

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Members, 
 
We  know it is crucial to take back Congress.  There were over a million Republican voters in California that did not vote in the last election.  We must reach out to them. If you would like to be part of a RMRWF team working on Get Out the Vote (GOV) please contact me at PCARLILE8@GMAIL.COM
 
This is our time to make a difference. 

Patricia Pyle,
President
