Cruz Ulysses Fuentes Mora

Candidate for City Council (At-Large), Live Oak

Cruz Mora is a lifelong resident of Live Oak. He graduated from Live Oak High School in 2017 and earned a degree in Public Administration from California State University, Chico, in 2024. He works as a policy analyst with the California Department of Health Care Services. In high school he presided over the Key Club, organizing park clean-up projects and support for local families, and he has spent five years advocating for clean drinking water access and infrastructure transparency in Live Oak. He has also worked with county agencies and regional organizations on public safety and business-support efforts, and has cited mentorship from a former Live Oak mayor as an early influence on his interest in public service.

Mora says stronger communities are safer communities, and has proposed a Public Safety Stronger Communities Commission to work with county agencies on communicating safety efforts to residents. On water, he wants to ensure affordable, clean, and safe drinking water by pursuing grant funding and conservation initiatives to address aging infrastructure. He has also called for repairing Live Oak's community pool, developing new gardens, and creating a Garden Glen Park near Luther Elementary School. On the economy, he wants to foster local business growth through tax incentives, reduced regulations, workforce development programs, and partnerships with regional groups like Yuba Sutter Economic Development.
