Manny Ruiz
A Voice for Our Community
Building a stronger, more inclusive Yakima through leadership, dedication, and community-first values
About Manny
I was born and raised in Yakima's District 2, and this community has always been my home. Growing up here, I've seen both the good and the bad. Our strong sense of family and community, but also the struggles that come from being overlooked by City Hall. Too many of our streets, sidewalks, and alleyways have been ignored for years, and too often our voices aren't heard when decisions are being made.
I'm running for City Council because I believe District 2 deserves better. I want to make sure our neighborhoods get the attention and investment they need. My priorities are simple: improve the basic services people depend on, make our community safer and more welcoming, and give residents a real say in how our city is run.
This isn't about politics for me. It's about making sure the place we call home gets the respect and care it deserves. I'm committed to listening, showing up, and working side by side with neighbors to build a stronger future for District 2.
