Christina Gordon for City Council

Vision We Need.
Experience We Can Trust.

Unanimously appointed to the Cathedral City Council in January 2026 β€” dedicated to the city's success and ensuring every resident is engaged, heard, and represented.

Dear Neighbor,

Serving as a member of the City Council for Cathedral City has been the privilege of a lifetime. I approach this job with joy and a commitment to consensus building because the work is hard, but it should also be fun. I want Cathedral City to be the best it can be β€” for our residents, for our businesses, for our visitors.

If I'm elected to continue representing the people of District 3, I promise to keep listening, learning, and working tirelessly for you and for our city. Since I joined the Council in January, I have dedicated myself to learning more about the City, its functions, and our residents, including:

  • Meeting with leaders on City Staff from every department β€” Planning, Public Works, Economic Development, Finance, Code Compliance, and Engineering β€” on infrastructure, road maintenance, business development, and public safety.
  • Touring our fire stations, meeting with the Fire Chief, EMS, and firefighters, and discussing priorities for ensuring rapid emergency response.
  • Participating in a ride-along with our city Homeless Liaison Officer to learn how we are serving our most vulnerable residents; attending the city-organized Homeless Outreach event.
  • Engaging with business leaders to discuss city ordinances and code, and collaborating with city staff to address issues related to cannabis odors.
  • Participating in community events with the Cathedral City Boys and Girls Club, Cathedral City Senior Center, Do the Right Thing Foundation, and AmVets Post 66; attending Tastes and Sounds, Yoga in the Amphitheater, Taste of Jalisco Festival, Cathedral City LGBT+ Days, Color the Spectrum Autism Art Festival, and the Soul Springs Festival.
  • Representing Cathedral City at the Southern California Association of Governments Conference; League of California Cities, Riverside County Division meetings; and Coachella Valley Association of Governments Homelessness Committee.

I love this city and I'm proud to call it home. β€” Christina Gordon Cathedral City Councilmember, District 3

A City On The Move β€” Our Roads Must Reflect That

District 3 residents want a city that works. We need roads that service the city, whether that's on main streets or passing through our neighborhoods. Christina will ensure that Cathedral City's interests are protected in the Palm Springs Ramon Road Bridge project. She has worked closely with colleagues on the Council and in Public Works to ensure road projects serve the areas that need the most attention.

  • Advocate for Cathedral City's interests in the Palm Springs Ramon Road Bridge project
  • Prioritize road repairs in the neighborhoods that need the most attention
  • Work with Public Works to ensure projects are transparent and on schedule
  • Make Cathedral City's roads safe and drivable for every resident

When People Are Seen For Their Humanity, Our Community Flourishes

Cathedral City is diverse and inclusive, and our city services must reflect that. Public safety is not just statistics β€” it's the way we serve our residents. Christina has worked closely with both the Fire and Police Chiefs to ensure our community is prepared, and that those who serve understand the unique needs of the people who live here. She is also working alongside the Council and City staff to select a location for a new multigenerational community center that will serve Cathedral City for years to come.

  • Ensure short response times and serve vulnerable populations with dignity
  • Work with Fire and Police leadership on community-specific preparedness
  • Support the Homeless Liaison Officer program and outreach services
  • Build a new multigenerational community center for seniors, families, and youth
  • Keep our neighborhoods safe and welcoming for every resident

More Than 100 Meetings Since January β€” And Counting

Christina believes that a strong community is one that is engaged in its government. Since January, she has attended more than 100 meetings, events, and conferences to engage with and learn from residents, business leaders, city staff, and government representatives. City survey data shows residents are mostly satisfied with Cathedral City, but many don't know what the city is doing on economic development, public safety, and road projects. That's why she has directed community funds toward communications outreach to ensure all residents are involved and engaged.

  • Attended 100+ meetings, events, and conferences on behalf of Cathedral City since January 2026
  • Connected with residents and HOAs in District 3 to learn what they need from the city
  • Directed community funds toward communications outreach for broader resident engagement
  • Represented Cathedral City at the Southern California Association of Governments Conference; League of California Cities, Riverside County Division meetings; and Coachella Valley Association of Governments Homelessness Committee
