DOWNEY – With more than 100 community leaders, city officials, and residents looking on, Councilman Fernando Vasquez was sworn-in as the 46th mayor of Downey on Tuesday night. The 34-year-old councilman, who was elected in 2010, was administered the oath of office by his fiancé Donna Noushkam. Echoing themes of economic growth, quality of life, and community engagement, Vasquez reaffirmed the city’s commitment to the Healthy Downey initiative by introducing an array of new 2014 community events, including a “Tour de Downey” bicycle race. “Folks, we’re going to have a big Downey bike day with a 30-mile route for experienced cyclists and a five-mile route for those who want something smaller,” Vasquez said. “But we want to promote active living and encourage people to spend time in Downtown Downey.”
Congratulations bro, best of luck during your tenure, & keep being a great leader.
Adelante!
