Welcome from Fred Tovar
Dedicated to Gilroy. Rooted in Community. Ready to Serve.
Welcome to my official campaign page for Gilroy City Council, District 4!
For over two decades, my life’s work has been centered on serving the people of Gilroy and advocating for our community.
Whether sitting at a council desk, working alongside students in higher education, or listening to neighbors at a local event, my focus has always been simple: putting people first.
Gilroy is more than just where we live—it’s our home. It’s where our families grow, our small businesses thrive, and our neighbors look out for one another. That is why my commitment to our city has never been about political titles; it’s about making a real, lasting impact on the place we all love.
The Core Vision: A Safe, Thriving, and Connected Gilroy
District 4 Deserves More.
My Vision for Our Neighborhoods:
- Keep Our Streets & Parks Safe: Support our first responders and invest in traffic safety near schools and neighborhoods.
- Support Local Businesses: Reduce red tape to help small businesses thrive and continue revitalizing downtown.
- Fix Infrastructure & Protect Quality of Life: Repair roads, maintain clean parks, and manage growth responsibly.
- Invest in Our Youth: Strengthen partnerships between the City Council, local schools, and higher education.

Proven Experience. Independent Leadership. Real Results.
Why I Am the Right Choice for District 4
When you cast your vote for City Council, you aren't just choosing a name on a ballot; you are choosing someone to represent your voice, your neighborhood, and your family's future at City Hall.
I am running to represent District 4 because I believe our community deserves experienced, tested, and accessible leadership.
Here is what I bring to the table for you and our neighbors:
- Proven, Tested Experience
With more than 20 years of public governance, serving you on the Gilroy City Council, the Gilroy Unified School District Board, and the San José/Evergreen Community College Board, I understand how city government works, how to balance municipal budgets, and how to turn community ideas into real results.
- Earning the Trust of Our Public Safety Officers
Keeping your family safe is my top priority. I am deeply honored to have earned the unanimous endorsement of the Gilroy Police Officers’ Association. Having the trust of the men and women who protect our neighborhoods every single day means everything to me, and I will always advocate for the resources they need to keep Gilroy safe.
- Practical, Non-Partisan Solutions
Local government shouldn't be about political infighting or national partisan debates; it should be about Gilroy issues. My focus has always been on practical solutions: safer streets, clean and modern parks, vibrant local businesses, and responsible city spending.
- Deep Roots & Unwavering Commitment to Gilroy
Gilroy isn't just a city I represent; it is my home. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside so many of you, listening to your concerns, championing local causes, and fighting for our neighborhoods. I am ready to continue fighting for our community every single day.
