✨We Appreciate You✨ We wanted to pause and take a moment to say Thank You to everyone of the beautiful city of Colton. We have come a very long way in this journey and we could not have made it this far without the love, support, inspiration, and encouragement from our community! Although we have a strong lead in this mayoral race, there are still some votes to be counted. I humbly ask for prayers to keep our votes coming in until the very end. I have received praise via texts, calls, emails, messages,and visits from folks at the neighborhood, local, city, county, regional, state, and national levels. And I am truly grateful for all of your support and positivity. Your kind words mean so much to us. Thank you! I am absolutely ready to become your Colton Mayor and my family and I thank everyone for congratulating us for our hardworking campaign. My family has allowed me to pour my heart into this amazing city and I am prepared to work my hardest for the great people of this city. Please pray with us as we wait until the final vote is accounted for. We are almost there and it is looking tremendously good for us. Thank you all so much! Colton is a small town with a big Heart! #colton #california #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨Small Business Recognition in Colton✨ We recently spotlighted a small family business in Colton and shared their success stories with our community. Their restaurant, “Tacos El Callejon” is situated at 1231 E Washington Street and they have done well in our beautiful city. They recently celebrated their second anniversary here in our awesome city. Their food is delish and their hospitality is superb. Please give them a try and help support our small businesses here in Colton! @tacos_elcallejon @coltonsmallbusinesses @johnechevarriaforcolton Colton Colton Colton #colton #california #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨Steady Leadership. Strong Principles.✨ Just as a horse symbolizes strength, loyalty, and perseverance, leadership is about staying the course, serving with purpose, and moving our community forward. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has generously allowed me to place a Yard Sign on their property. Your support and kindness mean so much to me! While installing a sign in Reche Canyon, I had two beautiful horses come over to greet me. What a wonderful reminder of the strength, trust, and connection that make our community so special. Please remember to vote on or before November 3rd. Your voice matters, and every vote is an opportunity to help shape our community’s future.

✨Passionate about Helping the People✨ My name is John Echevarria, and I have been serving the people since the age of 18. It has always been an honor and a blessing to give back to the community I care so deeply about. I never take the trust, faith, or support of the people for granted. Public service is more than a calling — it is a blessing. I was raised by a single mother who worked hard to instill in me the values of probity, humility, respect, and compassion. The lessons she taught me have shaped the person I am today and continue to guide me in my commitment to serving others. To everyone who has believed in me, supported me, and placed your trust in me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your faith in me means more than words can express and I will never forget where I came from or the values that raised me. With gratitude and respect, John Echevarria 909-252-6929 #colton #california #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨Honoring a Hometown Hero✨ It was a pleasure to recognize one of our longtime Colton residents for her service to our great nation. Chief Master Sergeant Isabel Contreras proudly served 31 years in our United States Air Force. She recently received an honorable discharge and a multitude of recognitions from her commanding officers. We wanted to thank her for her service and for being an amazing role model for all of Colton and everyone else to admire. I also requested everyone in our packed City Council Chambers to stand and applaud her and she received a well deserved standing ovation. Congratulations! #hometown #hero #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨ Hit Piece No. 1 ✨ · A hit piece is a negative advertisement, article, or piece of literature designed to damage an opposing candidate’s reputation rather than promote the attacking candidate’s own platform. · These materials are frequently released late in an election cycle—known as a “late hit”—so the targeted candidate has little time to respond or defend themselves. · Hit pieces can take the form of direct mail flyers, digital ads, social media attacks, or television commercials. Hello Colton. Please see the attachments for my responses to the first Hit Piece against my Colton Mayoral Campaign. Thank you for your continued support. #clean #campaign #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨ Grand Opening Event ✨ The awesome staff at Five Below recently hosted a Grand Opening event and I was told the store was packed when the doors first opened. I want to thank them for the invite and for being so welcoming to our Colton community! We appreciate them and wish their team all the best. The new store is located at 1100 S Mount Vernon Avenue and they are open seven days a week! I later returned and presented management with a certificate and I learned things are going well at their new Colton store. Please check them out if you’re in the area. @fivebelow @fivebelow #welcome #colton #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨ Appreciation Barbecue ✨ We had a blast at our Volunteer Usher Barbecue that was sponsored by our Priest, Reverend Moises Henriquez. He praised our efforts and gave us words of encouragement. He was also very savvy with the Karaoke device. 🎤 It was awesome spending time with our team in a relaxed setting and sharing some cool stories. We praised our leader Matilda for always organizing our events. We were later recognized the next day during Sunday Mass. 🖊️ The music playing is a song that Deacon Mark Martinez sings every now and again to help us feel better. 🎵 @san_salvador_catholic_church Colton Colton Colton #church #volunteer #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨ Endorsement Announcement ✨ I am honored to receive this endorsement from a partner and friend in our Colton community. He has devoted many years to ensure the programs in our school district are successful and we appreciate his commitment to our students. “Community partners in education are a pivotal ingredient in student success. John Echevarria has been a reliable partner to our school district and has supported our schools here in Colton for decades. Throughout the years, John has attended countless awards assemblies, community events, career days, scholar contests, athletic competitions, fundraisers, orientations, promotions, and graduations. Beyond his physical presence at our schools, he continues to promote our school district through his social media platforms and regularly honors our students at City Council meetings. Our students, teachers, families, faculty, and staff deeply appreciate the recognition and support John provides. His commitment is evident in the fact that our school communities have repeatedly invited him to events at their respective campuses. John’s partnership and leadership have made a lasting impression, and he has earned the trust and respect of the people he serves. I wholeheartedly support his campaign for Colton Mayor. I am voting for John Echevarria, and I encourage my fellow Colton residents to do the same.” Frank A Ibarra - School Board Member The election is November 3, 2026. I hope to earn your trust – and your vote. Thank you. #leadership #endorsement #fyp #viral #explorepage✨

✨ Compensation Increase Declination ✨ The depicted memorandum is formal notification that I am voluntarily opting out of the upcoming compensation increase. The pay rate change is scheduled to take effect on November 3, 2026. I want to emphasize that this decision reflects my personal circumstances alone and should not be interpreted as a statement regarding the merits of the increase or the decisions of my colleagues. I was proud to vote in favor of the pay increase because I recognize that the time, dedication, attentiveness, and responsibility required of those who serve in these positions are immeasurable. It is important that we continue to encourage future leaders to seek public office by ensuring the compensation is fair and supports a livable wage. Everyone has a different financial situation. I am grateful to serve alongside colleagues who work tirelessly on behalf of our community. Together, we have accomplished exceptional work, and I deeply appreciate their commitment. Because my family’s financial situation has been a blessing, I have chosen to decline this increase. The funds can instead be redirected to support other City services that benefit our residents.
