Jason has carried his business motto, “Innovate or Die,” with him into public service as Peoria’s Mayor.

Mayor Beck’s innovative vison for Peoria is realizing Peoria’s full potential by attracting cutting edge economic development, investing to secure our water future, driving the future of policing and public safety, and encouraging new educational opportunities to give Peoria families school choice.
