Neil Polzin for Covina Treasurer

In 2022, our community made its voice heard. For the first time in over 15 years, voters had a real choice for City Treasurer and together, we won. That victory wasn’t just about changing who holds the office. It was about proving that accountability, transparency, and fiscal responsibility still matter in our city.

Over the past term, I’ve worked every day to bring those values into City Hall. We’ve shined a light on spending practices, asked tough questions of elected officials, and pushed back when decisions weren’t in the best interest of taxpayers. In a City Hall controlled by officials more concerned with their own interests, this hasn’t always been easy but it’s been necessary. Because no matter who’s in charge, our community deserves honesty and stewardship when it comes to public funds.

Now, I’m running for re-election in 2026 to continue this work. The fight for accountability isn’t finished. With your support, we can keep standing up to business-as-usual politics and make sure City Hall works for the people, not just for itself.

This campaign has always been about us. Let’s keep moving forward, together.

Why this race is important

As a third-generation Covina resident, I know how special this community is and I’m committed to ensuring our city’s finances are secure for future generations.

With an MBA from UC Irvine, I understand the critical oversight role of City Treasurer. Mismanagement or underperformance of funds doesn’t just affect the numbers on a spreadsheet, it means higher taxes and fewer services for residents. My focus has been, and will continue to be, putting Covina on strong financial ground and holding those in positions of trust accountable.

Above all, I believe in transparency and accountability. Covina residents deserve to know how their money is managed. I’ve worked to make city finances more open, accessible, and understandable for the public, and I’ll keep working tirelessly to ensure City Hall answers to the people it serves.
