BYRON SALVATIERRA
democrat For IRVINE CITY COUNCIL D5
Neighbor. Veteran. Advocate.
While serving overseas in Baghdad, Iraq, I never thought I would have to worry about democracy back home. When troops were deployed to American cities against the will of residents, I knew I had to do something.
I have worked as a Public Safety Assistant for the Irvine Police Department and I’m currently a reserve firefighter with the Orange County Fire Authority. With those skills I’ve helped local democracy advocates by providing security at rallies as a lead safety coordinator.
​
I believe that building a stronger, more tight-knit community by banding together with our individual abilities is the most effective way to have our voices heard.
​
It’s with this mindset that I’m running for Irvine City Council.
