First elected to the Santa Ana City Council in 1986, Mayor Miguel Pulido served until December 2020.  During his time in public service he was a major force in the renaissance and economic revitalization of the City.  Mayor Pulido focused his efforts on improving the quality of life for all Santa Ana residents.   During his tenure, the City experienced a 58% reduction in crime, an increase in home values, a rise in the number of business licenses, an enhancement of the economic opportunities for the private sector, an overall revitalization of the City’s infrastructure, and an expansion in social and culture venues. 

Under Mayor Pulido’s leadership, the City of Santa Ana benefited from a tremendous growth in economic opportunities.  As a result of his advocacy efforts, the City of Santa Ana was designated an Enterprise Zone by the State of California in 1993 to promote business growth and job generation by offering state tax credits and highly valuable incentives to businesses.
