After fourteen years on the city council and three terms representing Ward 4, Your Business is running for mayor of Riverbend on a promise to fix what's broken — and to be in the room while we do it. Houses people can afford. Schools that work. Streets that don't flood.
Riverbend has real problems and they deserve real answers. Here are the three Marisol is leading with — read the full plan on the issues page.
A revolving construction fund seeded with $40M of TIF revenue, paired with by-right zoning along the Cleary Avenue corridor and a renter relief program for households earning under 80% AMI.

Read the schools plan →$120M in green-infrastructure investments — bioswales, daylighted creeks, separated storm sewers — focused on the four neighborhoods that flood every spring while we wait for the county.

I am a third-generation Riverbender. My grandparents opened Fielding's Hardware in 1962. I went to Cleary High, taught civics at South Middle for nine years, and I have served on the city council since 2012.
I am running because the city I love is at a turning point. We have new state dollars on the way, a downtown that's finally walkable again, and four neighborhoods that flood every spring like clockwork. The next mayor will decide whether we use this moment well — or waste it the way we wasted 2008.
I am not the candidate of any developer, party committee, or PAC. I am running on small-dollar donations and shoe leather, and I will keep showing up — at the school board, at the union hall, at your front door — whether or not the cameras are on.
Every door we knock, every postcard we mail, every text we send is funded by neighbors like you. We don't take corporate PAC money and we never will. Your $25 buys eighteen door-knocks.
The campaign's third major policy paper details a five-year, federally matched investment in green infrastructure across the Lambert, Sycamore, Tow Path, and Eastview neighborhoods.
The paper's editorial board cited her town-hall record, refusal of corporate PAC money, and detailed housing plan in a unanimous endorsement.
