BIOGRAPHY

A long time advocate for limited government and fiscal responsibility, Jesse Petrilla brings with him a history of political and business experience. Currently he is serving in the U.S. Army Reserves, and as a small business owner in Rancho Santa Margarita plays an active role as a member of the South Orange County Chambers of Commerce, working to ensure businesses in our city thrive. He is a founding board member of the RSM Business Alliance, an organization with a mission to build and sustain a healthy business environment in the greater RSM area.

In 2004, Jesse founded a non-profit grassroots organization which focused on educating Americans on homeland security issues. Jesse has earned the respect of leaders at the state and national level for his activism, and for his tireless volunteering for the conservative cause, working hard to support federal and state candidates who favor protecting local government revenue. He served with the California delegation to the 2008 Republican National Convention for Mitt Romney, and has now become entrenched in local issues, believing a fundamental return to the grassroots is what our city needs. Jesse has spearheaded the efforts to establish term limits for Rancho Santa Margarita's City Council, believing serving as a politician should not be a career, but should be only to give back to the community. He was married in Rancho Santa Margarita to his lovely bride Vesna, and is dedicated to keeping his community safe and prosperous for his and other families for years to come.
