Message from the City Manager

April 2026

We are entering spring season here in Murrieta, and we couldn't be more excited for all it brings!

After a wonderful Race Weekend, we are ready for our next special event: The Eggstravaganza! Bring the family out to enjoy an egg hunt for all ages, and an introduction to our recreation programs at our Rec Expo. This event thrills younger and older crowds alike, the excitement of the children hunting thousands of eggs is palpable every year!

We also offer you to join our team as we have several employment opportunities listed below, and of course, we hope you will join us for some of our other public meetings and programs at the Murrieta Public Library and beyond.

Thank you for being an important part of our community!

Sincerely,

Justin Clifton

Murrieta City Manager

The California State Legislature and U.S. Congress often propose laws that directly impact local communities like Murrieta. That’s why the City stays engaged in government affairs—to represent the interests of our residents and businesses.

When it’s appropriate, Murrieta takes formal positions on certain bills to make sure they reflect the values and priorities of our community. You can view the City’s Legislative Platform, along with letters of support or opposition, on our website. We update this page regularly, so check back often to stay up to date on how the City is advocating for the policies that matter most to you!
