HOMEGROWN CANDIDATE, CITY COMMISSIONER; A TRUE CERRITOS SUCCESS STORY
HOMEGROWN CANDIDATE, CITY COMMISSIONER; A TRUE CERRITOS SUCCESS STORY
In 1979, my parents and I moved to Cerritos. I attended ABC Schools and later owned a chain of KFC and Taco Bell restaurants. I am now, founder and CEO of Hearthy Foods, one of America's fastest growing health companies. I also served as a chair for Cerritos Economic Development. As chair, we brought lots of restaurants/businesses to Cerritos. We raised our family in a safe city with the best schools. Cerritos has been a wonderful place for me and my family to live. I am committed to improving our community by fixing the streets, sidewalks, curbs, trees, and walls. I am running for the Cerritos City Council to prioritize people over politics, protect our community, and ensure the safety of our city and schools.

Keep Cerritos Safe
Keep Cerritos Safe
Cerritos has experienced an increase of crime since the end of COVID. These crimes, including residential and commercial burglaries, have impacted Cerritos residents and businesses. The current council has worked tirelessly to curb the increase, and Riaz's priorities are to continue to work towards solving these important problems.
Increasing Community Activities
Increasing Community Activities
As a parent of two children, and as someone who grew up in the city, I understand the need to create a welcoming community that includes open parks, opportunities for sporting activities, and recreation classes. I have heard from our parents and community that they want to see more activities and classes available to their children.
Fix Cerritos Infrastrucure
After walking door to door to campaign, I've observed that our streets, sidewalks, walls, and curbs are unacceptable. We need to address the concerns of our residents, as this is a public safety issue. I propose increasing the budget to repair every street in Cerritos within one year.
Encouraging Local Business
Encouraging Local Business
I believe small businesses are the backbone of our community.
As a business owner in Los Angeles County, I am committed to promoting Cerritos as a business-friendly city and attracting more businesses that offer high-quality jobs to the area.
