I have lived in Arcadia my whole life. It’s where I went to school, it’s where I have my business and it’s where I have chosen to raise my family.
My accomplishments, since you first elected me to City Council in 2016, include:
- I championed harmonious and compatible design of new homes with new design review rules, a Floor Area Ratio (FAR): limiting the size of new homes to a percentage of the lot size, and the first Historic Preservation Ordinance for Arcadia;
- I secured $167,000 from LA County to help homeless in Arcadia find housing;
- I helped introduce the Ring Doorbell home security program to our residents, making neighborhoods safer;
- I created a Financial Advisory Committee made up of Arcadia residents, to provide recommendations to pay down the unfunded pensions, promoting transparency and accountability;
- I worked to bring back a basketball court with the renovation of Eisenhower Park, reinforcing the priorities of the community;
- I brought the Patriotic Festival, Holiday Fair and Halloween Haunting to Downtown Arcadia, enhancing the quality of life for residents;
- I connected to the community through many activities including Mahjong with the Mayor and Coffee with the Mayor;
- I convinced LA County to re-open the Spreading Basins in the Highlands, so more water was diverted into our aquifer instead of flowing to the ocean;
- I currently serve as Mayor.
I hope I get the opportunity to meet you in person and share more of what I have done and what I plan to do if re-elected.
Sincerely,
-April Verlato

You can’t trust the current male majority on City Council. They all knew Eileen’s home had been raided by the FBI in December 2024, that Eileen’s fiancé had been arrested and pled guilty to being an illegal agent of the CCP in November 2025. Yet in February of this year, they all praised Eileen when she was sworn in as Mayor. I’ve been speaking out against this to groups, predicting that Eileen would soon be indicted. Residents had been coming to council meetings demanding Eileen resign. These 3 allowed her to become Mayor, never once questioning whether or not it would be good for the City of Arcadia for the Mayor to be indicted for a federal offense while in office. Eileen signed the plea agreement in March. It takes months to hammer out these deals. She knew in February what was coming. #trustnoone #EileenWang #arcadiaca #thisisarcadia #mayorofarcadia #cd28 #verlatoforcongress #formermayorofarcadia #transparency #illegalagentofCCP
