Connie-Rogers Elmore Announces Her Candidacy for Moreno Valley City Council District 2

Connie-Rogers Elmore, an expert in government accounting and a Moreno Valley resident for 22 years, is running for City Council in the Second District. She is committed to serving the city that incorporated the same year she moved there.

Moreno Valley, CA (PRWEB) August 31, 2006 -- Connie Rogers-Elmore, an expert in government accounting and Moreno Valley resident for more than 22 years, has announced she is a candidate for City Council in District 2.

“I have a sincere interest in and commitment to serving our community,” she said. “The current city council, administration and staff have accomplished many great things, but they have a challenging future as the region continues to grow. I believe I can help bring about the future I and most other people in Moreno Valley would want.”

She is committed to a city that she has seen grow. When she first moved to Sunnymead in 1984, it was an unincorporated area. Later that same year, it incorporated with other nearby communities to form Moreno Valley.

At first she commuted to a job in Anaheim, but four years after Moreno Valley incorporated, Rogers-Elmore took a temporary assignment with the new city’s finance department. She was hired full-time when the assignment was over, and rose through the ranks from accounting clerk to Controller. Rogers-Elmore worked for 11 years in Moreno Valley’s Finance Department, then went to Perris where she was that city’s finance director for three years.

In 2004, she founded her own business CRE Governmental Accounting, and in that capacity has done financial consulting work for several cities, including long-term work for Chino, where she served as interim deputy director of finance during 2004 and 2005.

As an independent consultant, Rogers-Elmore is able to spend more time with her husband Isaiah, a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department systems analyst and reserve deputy, and their three children. Lark and Isaiah attend elementary school in Moreno Valley and Noelle is in preschool. All three are active in the city Park and Recreation Department’s and other local youth activities, but when not busy with that, they and their parents enjoy riding bikes on the city’s bikeways, or playing in city parks.

Rogers-Elmore also is a community volunteer. Since 2002, she has assisted Visterra Credit Union (formerly March Community Credit Union) as a member of its Supervisory Committee, currently as chairman.

Rogers-Elmore has earned both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in public administration from California State University, San Bernardino. And so, while her vocation has focused on the financial aspects of running a city, she is well qualified to oversee all aspects of municipal government.

“As your city councilperson I will deliver to our community the utmost integrity, enthusiasm and professionalism,” she said.
