Mary Anne Riggins elected Malibu mayor; Bruce Silverstein chosen mayor pro tem
Summary
At its April 28 meeting the Malibu City Council elected Mary Anne Riggins mayor and Bruce Silverstein mayor pro tem, administered oaths of office and heard an outgoing mayoral address from Doug Stewart reflecting on fire response, rebuild efforts and public-safety priorities.
Mary Anne Riggins was elected mayor of Malibu on April 28, 2025, following nominations from council members and a roll-call vote. Bruce Silverstein was elected mayor pro tem in the same session; both officials were sworn in at the podium.
The council opened the meeting by handling procedural items and a closed-session report before presenting an outgoing mayoral plaque to Doug Stewart. Stewart used his farewell remarks to summarize the city’s work over the last nine months — highlighting coordination with county and state partners during recent wildfires, progress on the city’s speed-camera initiative, support for fire victims’ rebuilds and ongoing park and school projects.
Riggins and Silverstein took the oath of office at the dais. Riggins thanked staff and residents and noted the council’s continuing priorities, including fire-rebuild efforts and public-safety improvements. The council then moved on to regular business, including scheduling an adjourned meeting to continue a contested appeal on May 8. The meeting record shows formal roll-call votes and the oaths administered in council chambers.
