Meet Mayor
Mario Trjillo

As a child, it was his single mother’s passion for community and justice that influenced Mario the most. From her, he learned the value of education and standing up for the rights of all citizens. His upbringing served as the foundation for successful careers as a primary and college-level teacher and a respected county deputy district attorney and now Mayor of City of Downey.

Despite a remarkable record of professional achievement, his dedication to family and passion for public service remain steadfast and continue to serve as his most cherished accomplishments.

 



"I love this community and its people. As your Mayor, my experience will allow me to continue making a real difference for our community."

Mayor Mario Trujillo
City of Downey
