JOHN ROBERTS’ S.A.F.E. PLAN FOR FONTANA

Protecting families. Supporting first responders. Keeping Fontana safe.

Public safety has been at the center of my life for more than five decades. Before serving on the City Council, I spent 32 years with the San Bernardino County Fire Department, retiring as a Division Chief after serving as County Fire Marshal and Valley Division Chief.

On the City Council, I have continued making police, fire and emergency services a priority.

Proven Results:

• 17th Safest City in California 
• 18 New Police Officers Hired 
• $5 Million+ in stolen property RECOVERED 

I will continue fighting to:

• Keep police and fire staffing ahead of Fontana’s growth
• Give first responders the equipment and technology they need
• Improve emergency response times
• Invest in traffic safety and neighborhood enforcement
• Strengthen partnerships between law enforcement and residents
• Ensure public safety remains one of Fontana’s highest budget priorities

Experience matters when your family’s safety is on the line.

Protect taxpayers. Deliver results. Keep Fontana financially strong.

I believe residents deserve a City government that respects every taxpayer dollar. My record on the City Council demonstrates that Fontana can invest in public safety, roads, parks and community services while maintaining strong reserves and planning responsibly for the future.

Proven Results:

• $38.4 Million in General Fund Contingency Reserves
• $11.1 Million SAVED in 2025 WITHOUT Reducing Service Quality

I will continue working to:

• Protect taxpayer dollars
• Maintain strong emergency and contingency reserves
• Invest responsibly in roads, public safety and infrastructure
• Demand transparency and accountability in City spending
• Keep Fontana financially prepared for the next generation

Responsible government means delivering results today without leaving tomorrow’s taxpayers the bill.

Better roads. Stronger infrastructure. Responsible growth.

I have watched Fontana grow from a much smaller community into one of the Inland Empire’s largest cities. My focus has remained simple: growth must come with the roads, infrastructure, public safety and services residents need.

Proven Results:

• 4,680 Potholes Repaired in 2025
• $27.5 Million in Capital Investment

I will continue working to:

• Repair streets and improve traffic flow
• Invest in sidewalks, storm drains and neighborhood infrastructure
• Ensure development pays its fair share toward infrastructure
• Protect established neighborhoods as Fontana grows
• Attract businesses, jobs, restaurants and amenities residents want
• Maintain and improve parks and recreation facilities
• Bring state, federal and regional transportation dollars back to Fontana

We can build Fontana’s future without losing what makes Fontana home.

A proven voice for District 4.

Experience matters.

I have helped guide Fontana through decades of tremendous growth while supporting investments in police and fire protection, roads, infrastructure, parks, economic development and responsible financial management.

My service has extended beyond City Hall through organizations and regional bodies including the Fontana Rotary Club, Fontana Historical Society, Omnitrans, Fontana Fire Protection District, North Etiwanda Preserve Board and Foothill Freeway Corridor Design Authority.

Proven Results:

• Former Firefighter & Public Safety Leader 
• Proven Record of Balanced Budgets & Strong Reserves
• Experienced Leadership for Fontana's Next Chapter

My experience has given me something that CANNOT be learned overnight: knowledge of Fontana, relationships that get results and the experience to understand how decisions made today will affect residents decades from now.

My family has proudly called Fontana home for generations. My commitment to this community isn't based on an election cycle. It is rooted in a lifetime of service.
