Testimonials

from District 4 Residents

 

“We support Jim Steiner for City Council in 2022.  We supported him in 2018 and he was an excellent choice.  We very much look forward to Jim serving another four years.  Jim has been engaged and well informed on every single City issue from our perspective.  He takes input from any and all of District 4 and is exceptionally responsive to any question or inquiries about the issues.  It is our firm opinion that there is no better person to represent District 4 and our City.”

-John and Cathy Donaldson

 

“The City of Corona is fortunate to have Jim as a public servant.  He is hardworking, selfless, and dedicated to the greater good of the community. In his short time as a councilman, he has been pivotal in helping our city achieve financial health and move us closer to realizing the vision of Corona becoming the “city of trails” by acquiring an unprecedented amount of open space.  We are proud to endorse Jim!”

 -Dave & Laura Seltzer

It’s a pleasure to know him and see how much he cares about our community and the problems we face. His dedication to our open spaces and trails are especially important to me. He has my full support and hope that you will also join with me to make sure that he continues to represent District 4 as our Councilmember for the foreseeable future.”

“Steiner is the real deal. We have reached out to him several times with concerns related to homelessness and public safety issues in our neighborhood. His responsiveness and ability to get things done is at an entirely different level than what we’re used to experiencing here in Sierra Del Oro. We need Jim to be re-elected.”

-Joe and Robyn Prado.

“What a welcome change Jim has brought to the Corona City Council! He has and continues, to stay in contact with those he serves, the PEOPLE of Corona! I appreciate his demonstrated leadership and vision for Corona. I will be voting to re- elect Jim Steiner for Corona City Council.” 

-Roger Conard

“We met Jim Steiner when we moved from Ontario to Corona about 3 years ago. We were impressed right away with how easy Jim was to talk to about our concerns in our neighborhood. Not only did he listen but also came out to investigate what was going on and help us. Jim seems to care about our community and is very responsive to handling any problems right away. He works with the graffiti team in the City to be sure it gets cleaned up expediently. Jim also helps keep the trails around Corona clean and cleared of debris. He has been a long time resident in Corona and definitely cares about this City! Prior to being on the City Council he was a Corona Firefighter. He has our full support to represent District 4 as our Councilman.”

-Kevin and Linda Henry

“Jim Steiner is not a politician. He is a friend to the City of Corona and especially to District 4. He is responsive to our concerns, comments and questions. He cares about our city and its citizens. He is fiscally responsible and environmentally informed. We will definitely vote for Jim.”
- Doug & Barbara Riddle

 

“Over the last year we’ve asked and received support from Jim on two critical issues. His direct connection and interfacing with the City of Corona management in Code Enforcement & Public Works helped to bring two issues under better control for us to date.

The first issue was a construction project that was seeing more activity before 0530 in the morning as well as over weekends leaving to question any city guidance, reviews, and permits. Within hours Jim was directly on site reviewing the project and calling me to reassure his observations would be passed along to the right city departments for follow up. Within a day or so the city was on sight and better controls were in place.

The second issue that had been ongoing for MANY years off and on was the power outages specifically in our given grid. In the earlier years we had numerous severe outages with a couple outages lasting over a 2 to 3 day time period. That was finally resolved with a replacement of a major underground cabling backbone upgrade. However, last year outages began once again. As in the past the outages were seemingly in the same power grid area as before. This time Jim contacted the city’s So Cal Edison liaison and after a week review and email exchanges we had answers to the reason for those most recent outages. Some were routine maintenance items but others were actual equipment failures as well. Regardless, there have been NO outages since. Thankfully!

Both issues became items that remained on Jim’s radar until the issues were resolved and communications were no longer required. Thank you for your immediate responses and professional understanding on these items, Jim.

We overwhelmingly support Jim in his future endeavors as an ongoing member of the City of Corona Council assigned to our district.” 

-Paul & Michele Breitkreuz

-Ed Carrillo.

 

“Jim Steiner has proven these past 4 years that he is a man of his word, easy to talk to and he listens, has integrity, and is a hard worker. He focused on issues to help the citizens of Corona and took action on homelessness, the budget and preserving our Skyline area, just to name a few. We are proud to support him again for re-election.”

-Don and Ann Long

 

“I wholeheartedly endorse Corona City Councilman Jim Steiner in his bid for reelection. He has been steadfast in his ability to lead judiciously while being available to his constituency. I am privileged to say in over two decades of collaboration on community efforts, I have witnessed firsthand his servants heart at work. I will be honored to cast my vote for Jim Steiner and encourage my fellow district voters to do the same.”

-Nancy Jiménez Hernandez


“It is my pleasure to endorse Jim Steiner for City Council.  Jim’s ability to bring citizens and resources together in a positive, proactive way to create solutions for our city and citizens is unique and unparalleled. Also, he’s just a down-to-earth good human. Thanks Jim!”

-Rachel Lomeli

 

“I had the pleasure of meeting Jim as our community sought his support to save our greenbelt from development.  I was immediately impressed with his responsiveness, his patience and honest candor.  Jim is not a “politician” but rather a humble advocate serving our community with integrity.  He is an excellent communicator and proven promoter for open space.  Jim took the time to meet with a group of our neighbors and we were impressed by his willingness to learn about our concerns as he took hours out of his day to not only listen but to also take quick action.  I wholeheartedly support Jim’s reelection effort as I have seen firsthand his passion and tangible results improving our quality of life here in Corona.  Thanks Jim!”

-David Zolnekoff

“Jim Steiner acts with integrity, tenacity and compassion in his tireless efforts for District 4 and Corona. He meets each issue head-on with his diplomatic manner of relationship building and follow-through. He has always kept in touch with us over matters of mutual concern. There is still much work to be done to fulfill the plans envisioned for Corona. Jim has our full support and confidence to continue with his excellent leadership of District 4.”

-Jonathan and Cynthia Vincent

 

“Every now and then when you meet someone new, you sometimes know right away they are a person that is intelligent, honest, and has a high level of integrity. You are happy to have them as a friend. That is who Jim Steiner is to me. Jim was on the Corona fire Department for 31 years and retired as a Captain. He has done a great job on the Corona City Council and is committed to the best interests of the residents in District 4 and the City of Corona. I called Jim one time because we had a problem with our water meter box. He made a quick call and the Water Department was on scene the next morning making the repair. We are proud to continue to endorse Jim Steiner as he seeks a second term on the City Council.”

 -Warren, Terry, Brandon and Devin Stockwell

  

“I support Jim Steiner because he is truly vetted with our local community and is fully engaged in the enrichment of our city through a grass roots approach.”

-David Ortega

 

“Jim Steiner has been serving the City of Corona since 2018 as a City Council Member and as Mayor.  Prior to that he served as a Fire Fighter for Corona and a Ladder Captain. He has served our community In the areas of homelessness, transportation, youth, disabled adults and many other worthy causes. He has received many recognitions for his leadership over the years such as Citizen of the Year as well as The Circle City Kiwanis “2018 Heart of a Hero Award”. He is currently running for City Council and we would encourage everyone to support him.

Personally, we support Jim because he is responsive to concerns we bring to him. He always gets back to us in a timely manner with either a solution or an explanation. Jim is also a forward thinker. He has worked to acquire more green space for the city by purchasing land from developers and has made Corona more financially stable by refinancing our pension fund.  These actions will positively impact our City for years to come. Jim is a strong leader who works  with others and works for the benefit of the people of Corona.”

-Darrell and Joyce Malle’

 

“I’m writing this letter to provide my support for Jim Steiner to continue in his elected role as Corona Councilman for District 4. My name is Carol Trahan and, like Jim, have been a resident of Corona for more than 30 years.

Jim has a passion for what he believes in, and as evidenced by his dedication to the continued improvement of quality living in our community. He is a “hands on” leader, enthusiastically recruiting others to help clean graffiti on our Skyline trails to helping those in need, especially children. Jim’s selflessness shows a strong sense of community and empathy for others, by listening and taking action whenever and however possible. I believe that Jim Steiner has been and will continue to be a great asset to our District 4 community.”

-Carol Trahan

 

“Over the last 4 years serving as a city council member, Jim Steiner has been an “overachiever representative” when it comes to standing up for residents & businesses in District 4.

If he’s not being pro-active working with staff to orchestrate resources to combat homelessness impacts on the west end, he’s soliciting residents to serve as working groups meeting with potential developers to iron out “best fit” solutions for our neighborhoods.

As far as being reactive to D4 concerns, no one holds a candle to Jim’s approachability, drive, and enthusiasm to serve the City he’s protected his whole career as a Fire Captain. There’s only one mode for Jim Steiner and that’s moving at full capacity, all the time, working for all of us.

We’re unequivocally proud to endorse Jim Steiner for re-election on city council!”

-Tom and Karen Alexander

“Jim Steiner- BOY WHAT A GUY. I think that he has his cell phone glued to his ear, because whenever I call he always answers the phone. We have had a few problems in our neighborhood and he seems to always come to our rescue. He is by far the best councilman that we have had to represent us for some time. I will definitely vote for Jim again this year.”

-Gary Loope

“I support Jim Steiner in being reelected as council member for district 4. Jim is dedicated to making our community a better place for the families that live here.

His last term as councilman, he was attentive to the needs of our district. One of the many attributes that stand out to me is how approachable Jim is. He genuinely cares and listens to our concerns.”

-Anita McMillan

“Friends urged us to get to know Jim during his first campaign when he walked door to door to visit every home and business in the district. That alone is impressive dedication. We were also impressed by the person and his message. Since then we’ve found him to be an honest, dedicated, and enthusiastic advocate for his district and the betterment of the city – which has seen noticeable improvement in many ways since he was first election in 2018. Most of all, Jim has proven to be a first-class human being who genuinely cares about others. He always makes himself available for questions or concerns. Whenever there’s a crisis in our neighborhood, he’s the fist to reach out, update and offer his assistance. We support Jim, are grateful for his service to the city and thank him for running for reelection. His presence has truly brought about change and improvement in District 4 and Corona overall. It would be hard to envision a District 4 without Jim Steiner.”

-Susan and John Fox

“My family as well as many of our neighbors will be supporting Jim Steiner in the upcoming election for City Council to represent District 4.

I have had several opportunities to seek the assistance of Mr. Steiner over the past several years. It seems as though in the past our District has been the forgotten area of the city of Corona.

I was surprised at Jim’s eagerness to help in resolving the problems that we have faced in the past. Jim is extremely quick to respond to either phone calls or emails and is quite relentless in following through to see that these matters are resolved.

Jim is a committed and caring representative of our city and we look forward to working with him in the future for another term as our District 4 City Councilmember.”

-Sam & Donna Christos

“Jim is not a pretentious person. Never did he act like he knew all the answers to my questions. Many times he had no idea. But he is great in getting the answers and showing me where to go next time. He is a community minded person. He has done or is working with staff to get his campaign promises done. He’s just a normal guy.”

-Dwight Woodward

“Jim Steiner is a real asset to the residents of Corona and represents the best in local government:

-Jim listens to local residents: In my neighborhood's case, he took the time to speak to each household personally and to address their concerns about a planned major infrastructure change.

-Jim truly believes in local involvement: He proactively involves nearby residents of large planned developments (such as Skyline Heights and Skyline Village), and works diligently to get their concerns addressed, even when it forces the developers to alter their plans.

-Jim understands that local residents need government to listen to them - I attended one City Council meeting where he had a City worker talk to a resident of El Cerrito, to address his concerns. This is impressive since El Cerrito isn't even part of Corona.

-Jim cares about Corona: He has a track record of personally working to clean-up Corona: as just one example: he organized a group on his own, and purchased his own supplies, to clean up Skyline Trail.

-Jim has a vision for Corona and is working to realize that vision:

–Working to ensure trails remain connected instead of split-up by developments.

–Working to boost Corona's economy by making Corona a destination for hikers.

–Working to promote developments with jobs over developments that only contain housing.

–Purchasing large swaths of private property to ensure they are preserved for future generations' enjoyment.

-Jim even understands the importance of City upkeep. Whenever I have had an issue with graffiti cleanup or overgrown vegetation in flood channels or landscaping maintenance - Jim gets it resolved quickly.

-Jim is working on the homelessness issue.

In summary, Jim is an asset to the City of Corona. We are fortunate to have him as District 4 Councilmember. He truly understands the concept of Public Service and how local government is supposed to work.”

-Mike and Violet Shay

“Mr. Steiner is hands down the most proactive member of our city government. Any time our district has had a concern, Mr. Steiner has immediately addressed it, and without hesitation. He is a results driven individual who truly cares about our city, it’s businesses, and our residents. The city of Corona is so lucky to have him, and he has always got our family’s vote!”

-Lauren Rotter

“Integrity, responsive and proactive is best describing Jim Steiner, adding to that the attentive ear to all our district 4 concerns and beyond. Jim never takes the back seat in any of our issues and needs, from looking at our city financial health to encouraging and paving the way to maintain our open space and trails, to the never ending homelessness issues. That is what we need in district 4, a watchful eye looking after our interest while we go about our normal business, and Jim Steiner is that watchful eye.”

-Frank Zwayne

“I met Jim Steiner when he was with our local Fire Station, and I was having a Mom's Club gathering at the Corona Airport on Christmas break. I asked the Fire Dept. if they would come over to teach the kids some safety tips pertaining to the Christmas tree, Christmas lights, etc. I was so impressed with Jim and his crew and how they engaged the children, spent quality time with them, and most of all.. that he even honored my request to take time out of their busy schedule to come by!

Since that day, many, many years ago, Jim and I have crossed paths on multiple occasions at local events, fundraisers, or casual meetings and it is always a pleasure to discuss City issues with him. He is a straight shooter, he's honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He discusses issues without being condescending, or acting like he knows it all. If he doesn't know the answer, he will find out for you.

I am always proud to say that he represents my part of town. He has always got my vote!”

-Karen Bowley

“We confidently recommend Jim Steiner for Corona City Council 2022. We have lived in 3 different cities since marriage and have never had a council member that you could just reach out to and get not only a response but a well thought out, and thorough explanation or answer to a question. Jim has responded to any and all questions or inquiries we've asked. It's a testimony to his knowledge of and love of Corona and his dedication to the people of District 4.  It is our opinion that we of District 4 could not be in better hands. Jim has our full support.”
