Temecula commission hears appeals ahead of city council vote on parade participation
Summary

City staff explained denials and said both matters are scheduled for the Temecula City Council hearing the next day.
Members of two community organizations told the City of Temecula Community Services Commission that they should be allowed to participate in the city’s Fourth of July parade, and staff said the denials will be considered at a city council hearing scheduled for the next day.
Rick Reese, a member of the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly, told the commission the group has marched in the parade for decades and said the organization’s application was denied because city policy bars political campaigning in parade entries. “Fourth of July is all about political speech,” Reese said, referencing U.S. free‑speech principles and the city motto “old traditions, new opportunities.”
