Cruz’s Background

Cruz Mora is a dedicated community leader, lifelong resident, and passionate advocate for Live Oak. Born and raised in Sutter County, Cruz’s story is rooted in the very neighborhoods and schools that shaped his commitment to public service. From an early age, Cruz experienced firsthand the value of community support when helping lead Key Club at Live Oak High School, and having been introduced to local government in Live Oak. In 2016, Mayor Lakvir Ghag graciously offered his time to Cruz and offered to mentor Cruz during his senior year in high school.

Cruz’s journey of leadership began through active community involvement, volunteering, and championing critical local initiatives, including advocating for clean water, modernized parks, improved public safety, and responsible economic growth. His determination to foster transparency and accountability has led him to actively challenge the status quo, ensuring Live Oak’s city government genuinely serves its residents.

Professionally, Cruz is a seasoned policy analyst specializing in health and human services. His analytical expertise and commitment to data-driven decision-making bring valuable skills to managing city resources efficiently and effectively.

In 2022, Cruz’s strong campaign brought him just 61 votes shy of a city council seat. Undeterred, he continued his advocacy, amplifying community voices and holding city leadership accountable. Cruz’s dedication earned him endorsements from respected community organizations and leaders, reflecting widespread trust in his vision and integrity.

Now, Cruz Mora seeks your support to build on this momentum, transforming Live Oak into a model of proactive governance. With a clear vision, tireless energy, and a proven record of advocacy, Cruz is committed to serving as your next City Councilmember, ensuring that every resident’s voice is heard, every neighborhood thrives, and Live Oak achieves its full potential.
