Rene has lived in Moreno Valley most of his life and owes so much of his personal and professional success to this city and to the neighborhood he calls home. He knows firsthand, however, that in some ways, MoVal has lost its way. These days quality of life issues like street safety and street conditions, issues that affect us all, are being overlooked and ignored.
The citizens of our city deserve more from city leadership and Rene wants to lead the fight to make things better together! A strict Mexican-American mother raised Rene to believe that morals and character define who you are; Rene embraced his local community and thrived. He spent his youth playing little league baseball, cub scouts and served as an Air Force Junior Officer Cadet.
After graduating from the Moreno Valley Unified School District High School, Rene worked in customer service, and as an at-home healthcare worker assisting seniors and those with debilitative conditions and disabilities. Later Rene attended Westech College where he earned certification in Veterinary Assistance. Through the worst of the pandemic, Rene worked as a youth care worker and transition guide for undocumented and unaccompanied minors. Sponsored by the Dept. Of Human Health and Services, and under the direction of the Cherokee Nations, Rene worked tirelessly to provide mentorship and reassurance to immigrant youth new to life in the United States.
Today at age 52, Rene volunteers his time at the Mt. Sinai Church Food Bank and coaches youth sports. Rene raised his now-adult son, Gregory, as a single father, and today parents a 16-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son with special needs. Mr. Ramos is running for District 1 City Council because he wants to preserve the quality of life for his children and for all citizens of MoVal that he had.
Rene has always recognized the underdog, those that need a helping hand, and those most at risk in our community. Poor street lighting, outdated traffic studies, and unenforced laws have left too many of our streets, pothole-ridden, and dangerous for young and old. This doesn’t have to be – together we can change things for the better, now and for generations to come.
