Meet Steve Bennett
Background
As a life-long resident of the City of West Covina, I am deeply committed to the community. I was born here, own a home here, and have raised my family here. This is my home, like it is to all of you.
My parents moved to West Covina in 1965 and as the youngest of seven children I was able to experience what makes West Covina an amazing community. I attended Covina-Valley Unified School District schools and played youth baseball at the local Little League. I met my wife and we settled here in West Covina to raise our only child, a son, who graduated from Covina-Valley Unified School District as did all of my siblings
Over the years I have been involved in many aspects of the community. While my son played youth baseball at the local Little League, I ran and was elected to the position of President of the league. During my three years on the board of directors we were able to overcome some serious budget problems. We brought all debts to current and remodeled the concessions stand, fields, restrooms, and were able to generate enough support from local businesses to install the most up to date and modern scoreboard of any local youth sports league at that time. Upon my departure of the board, there was a significant amount of money in the bank and no debts.
In 2010, I was honored to be appointed to the City of West Covina Community and Senior Services Commission where I served until 2019. During my tenure as a commissioner I was humbled to serve as the Vice Chair and Chair of the commission. This appointment was a great opportunity to learn more about the city and the residents. During my time on the commission we were honored to promote the cities first "All Inclusive Playground" at Cameron Park. One of my proudest moments was in 2016 and 2017 when the high school baseball program that my son was involved (Covina High School), volunteered at the West Covina Senior Center and served all of the attendees their Thanksgiving luncheon. This was a proud moment because those student athletes got to enjoy the benefits of community service and experience just what that means first hand. This was how I was raised and I was so proud to help them experience that as well.
Now I look to continue my service to the community by asking for your support as the next Covina-Valley Unified School Board Member, serving Trustee Area 1. I am honored to have the support and endorsement of your actual classroom teachers from Covina-Valley Unified Schools (CUEA) and look forward to working with them to ensure our children and students have the tools they need and the best teachers in the classroom to teach them.
It would be my honor to have your support and your vote come this November. If you have any questions please let me know.
