Gardner for DHS

Desert Hot Springs is a special place. There is no city quite like it. I have been honored to serve you on the City Council representing District 1 – the area of the city south of Pierson Boulevard, and west of Palm Drive. My primary goal has always been to make Desert Hot Springs the best city to live in here in the desert, and to improve the lives of all of our residents across the city. I’ve worked tirelessly towards those goals, and we’ve made tremendous progress.

Desert Hot Springs is a vibrant and growing community. We attract residents and visitors from all over who come to enjoy our unique city -- our world-renowned hot mineral waters and spas, our access to outdoor recreation, our lower cost housing, and now the city in the desert with the lowest crime rate.

Of course there’s still much more to be done. We are always striving to make the city better. With your help, I’ll keep working towards that goal. I hope to once again earn your vote in 2026.
