LINDSAY, Calif. (KFSN) — A South Valley man is making history in his new role on the city council.
Hipolito Angel Cerros is the new Mayor of the City of Lindsay.
He’s 24 years old and the youngest to hold the position in the small Tulare County town.
“It does feel like a dream. I am still taking it all in. But it’s fantastic,” said Hipolito.
Hipolito was raised in Lindsay and graduated from Lindsay High School.
He studied Science and Technology at UC Davis with a minor in tech management and political science.
He joined the Lindsay City Council in 2020.
“The city was in a place that needed significant improvements so being part of that initiative to get the ball rolling is something that means a lot to me, not just for myself but for my people that deserve this type of change,” Hipolito said.
Since being on the council, Hipolito has helped secure about $5 million in grants.
