“I would like to thank the residents of District 1 for their continued support and recognition of my leadership, vision and work on behalf of our neighborhoods. Over the next 4-years I plan to continue my efforts to advocate for additional resources to the westside of the city, repair our local streets, light up more streets, clean our parks and trials, economic development opportunities and address homelessness,” stated Sigala.
Council Member Sigala was first elected to the city council in 2016. In 2018 he became the 39th and First Latino Mayor of Tulare. In 2020 he was re-elected once again. Since his election in 2016, Sigala has worked hard to be a voice for the westside of Tulare and bring attention to the many challenges it faces.
