| Palmdale Calls for Artists: Transform Pelona Vista Park With Stunning Staircase Murals |
PALMDALE, CA – The City of Palmdale is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for stair murals to be installed at Pelona Vista Park. This exciting art initiative will transform the park’s two staircases leading to the north fields into visual expressions of the project’s themes of health, wellness, sportsmanship and community pride.
Pelona Vista Park spans approximately 30 acres and features 10 lighted soccer fields, a fitness court and a one-mile walking path. The murals will make the park an enriching and colorful community space for everyone who visits.
“We encourage all local muralists in the Antelope Valley to apply,” said Mayor Richard Loa. “The City is committed to supporting public art that makes our communal spaces more colorful and reflect the values we share as a City.”
With an all-inclusive budget of $10,500, the grant will cover all the necessary expenses, including the artist’s fee, paint supplies and equipment rentals. Included in the budget, the selected artist will also receive a $450 stipend to create a color sketch or digital image of the proposed artwork to scale. Proposals must align with the project’s objectives, ensuring the artwork is family-friendly. The City’s Public Art Commission will evaluate and select submissions that best meet the objectives of this project.

Welcome to the March edition of our newsletter! As we welcome the season of spring, I'm excited to share important updates with you, including the introduction of our bill package. So far, we've introduced 18 bills aimed at addressing key issues impacting our community.
March is also Women's History Month, and I'd like to take a moment to celebrate the incredible women who shape not only our lives but also our work in the Legislature. I am personally grateful for the support and inspiration I receive from the strong women in my life, especially my wife and daughter, whose influence continues to guide and motivate me every day.

| Congressman Whitesides' Weekly Update: March 10, 2025 |
This week in D.C., I continued meeting with constituents and groups that serve California’s 27th District, and had important conversations about the most pressing issues facing our community.
I was also honored to welcome officials from the U.S. Navy into my congressional office on Wednesday as they presented me with their official Seal. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee and the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee, I am proud to honor the world’s best Navy and our shared mission of keeping this country safe.
Many of you have reached out to my office regarding the recent U.S. House of Representatives budget resolution and the risk it poses to programs like Medicaid and Social Security. I understand that many of my constituents rely on these programs to survive, which is why I voted against the resolution that would require cuts to Medicaid and other federal benefits. I will keep you updated as I learn more. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to my office through my website with your concerns and questions.
