“I’ve seen Jan Pye consistently focus on the areas where Desert Hot Springs can grow and thrive. In my experience, she listens to residents and responds to their needs. She values strong educational representation—from TK–12 through College of the Desert—and thinks strategically about the city’s future, including a stronger downtown, better road access, and meaningful support for seniors through the Senior Center Complex. This reflects my own observations of her leadership.”

“I am pleased to endorse Jan Pye for the Desert Hot Springs City Council. I have observed Jan’s involvement in our community for many years and have always admired her dedication to public service. Her commitment to Desert Hot Springs goes well beyond her responsibilities as a City Council member. Whether serving on local boards, supporting community organizations, or working to improve the city's financial stability, Jan has consistently demonstrated how much she cares about our city.
Jan's recognition as Riverside County's Woman of the Year in 2024 is a genuine testament to her many years of service and dedication.
Jan is not someone who seeks recognition or personal gain. She genuinely cares about people, takes the time to listen, and works tirelessly to make our community a better place. Her integrity, compassion, and willingness to do what she believes is right are qualities I value in an elected leader.
Desert Hot Springs is fortunate to have someone like Jan representing its residents. I encourage you to vote for Jan Pye on November 3rd.”
