Biography

Alonso Ledezma has been a longtime resident of San Jacinto. As a real estate broker with San Jacinto Realty–Ledezma & Associates, the owner of Ledezma’s Tacos, and through his involvement with Thomas Catering, he spent years building relationships with neighbors and businesses across the city before he ever ran for office — time which he says gave him a street-level view of the challenges facing San Jacinto residents.

He was first elected to the San Jacinto City Council in November 2010 and re-elected in 2014, 2018, and 2022, serving multiple terms including three stints as Mayor. He currently serves as a Councilmember.

Beyond City Hall, Alonso represents San Jacinto on several regional boards that shape transportation, land use, and conservation decisions across Riverside County.

Mr. Ledezma serves on the Cannabis Oversight Program Committee (CPOT), and also holds positions on various boards through Riverside County such as the Western Riverside Council of Governments, the Riverside County Transportation Commission, the Riverside Transit Agency, and the Western Riverside County Regional Conservation Authority.
