Dyer is the City of Fresno’s 26th Mayor, sworn into office on Jan. 5, 2021 and overwhelmingly elected to a second four-year term in March 2024. Now entering his sixth year in office, Mayor Dyer continues to be guided by his “One Fresno” vision, which seeks an inclusive, prosperous, beautiful city where people take pride in their neighborhoods and community, as well as a government that listens, keeps its promises, and is owned by the people. Multiple successful projects and initiatives reflect this vision, including a major Fresno Yosemite International Airport terminal expansion completed in December 2025.  This project features two new international gates, an expanded security check, new welcome plaza and additional dining and shopping options. A new state-of-the-art 911 Emergency Call Center is under construction at the City’s Municipal Service Center, which along with a new Fire Station 12 in Northwest Fresno reflects Mayor Dyer’s continued public safety commitment. Several parks, including Roeding, have seen significant upgrades, while new ones such as the Southeast Fresno Sports Complex, broke ground under Mayor Dyer’s leadership.  The Mariposa Plaza in downtown also reopened after a major refurbishment. Pave More Now is a $100 million bond program under Mayor Dyer’s direction that is dedicated to repairing and rebuilding city streets, and an energy efficiency grant program is helping locally owned restaurants that have been hit hard by rapidly rising energy bills. Mayor Dyer began his first term with “Project Off-Ramp,” an initiative that relocated more than 650 unhoused individuals from Fresno’s freeways. Of that total, more than 80% accepted services and shelter.   Since 2021, more than 10,500 individuals have been served as part of the focus on homelessness in Fresno. Another early and successful initiative that is ongoing is Beautify Fresno, which has greatly enhanced the city’s curb appeal while inspiring an unprecedented level of community involvement. Volunteers from all corners of Fresno regularly come together on weekends to clean up trash and beautify neighborhoods across the city. Under Mayor Dyer’s leadership, the City’s core is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. With nearly $300 million in public infrastructure funding, major improvements to Downtown Fresno and Chinatown are already underway.  This includes a 600-stall garage on North Fulton Street, a second, ~900-stall garage coming in March, street and sidewalk projects, water and wastewater systems, and a $25 million revolving housing loan fund. This represents part of Mayor Dyer’s broader vision for a vibrant, walkable downtown with full-time residents, thriving businesses, cultural venues, and a lively entertainment scene. A champion for housing, Mayor Dyer continues to prioritize diverse solutions through his One Fresno Housing Strategy.  This comprehensive plan aims to meet the needs of all residents, from low-income, missing middle, and workforce to market-rate developments, with the goal of ensuring a stable housing market. Mayor Dyer also continues to support Fresno’s youth through multiple initiatives, including the 2021 renovation of Camp Fresno, a transformative project offering youth a chance to connect with nature and create lifelong memories, and the One Fresno Youth Jobs Corps Program, which offers hundreds of hard-to-employ young adults the opportunity to overcome barriers and gain skills through a City-paid internship designed to lead to full-time employment. Before becoming Mayor, Jerry Dyer served 40 years with distinction in the Fresno Police Department, including the final 18 as the City’s longest-serving Police Chief. This experience provides him with unique insights into the City’s operations and drives his belief that government exists to serve the people, which is reflected in his One Fresno motto: “We Work For You.” A proud Fresno native, Mayor Dyer grew up in the Fowler area and graduated from Fowler High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology from California State University, Fresno, and a master’s degree in management from California Polytechnic University, Pomona. Mayor Dyer’s commitment to service extends beyond the office.  In 2018, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Fresno County Office of Education and was named a Paul Harris Fellow for Rotary International. Mayor Dyer’s life story is one of service, leadership, and a deep commitment to family and community.  He and his wife, Diane, were married in 1980 and have been blessed with two children and five grandchildren.
