Biography

Serving Others

My name is Melissa Ramoso and I am a public servant, advocate, a proud Gahr Gladiator and UC Irvine alumnus.  I’m an active Artesia resident and former Vice President of the Friends of Artesia Foundation.

My passion for service comes from my immigrant parents. My mother is a retired county nurse and my father is a US Army veteran and retired postal worker. I was raised to believe that government should help make people's lives better. I have always held myself to the highest ethical standards.

For almost 20 years, I have represented federal and state legislators in serving their constituents. Currently, I am District Director to Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi where I coordinate a district office to help residents voice their opinions, access resources, and improve their communities.

Mayor Melissa Ramoso’s Track Record of Accomplishments

• Balanced city budgets for four straight years making fiscally prudent decisions.

• Strengthened partnership with exceptional city employees to improve and expand city services.

• Worked to make City Hall more transparent via the city website and accessible through in-person services.

• Delivered green bike lanes for incoming bike riders to enhance public safety on Norwalk Boulevard.

• During the pandemic, initiated an eviction moratorium, mental health services, a fee cap on delivery-based apps, and a business assistance program.

As Mayor, I work together with residents, community groups, local businesses, and public safety first responders. Together, over the past four years we accomplished much to improve the quality of life and safety in our city.

While much has been achieved, there's more that remains to be done. I respectfully ask for your vote so we can continue to do the people's work.
