About Ben Diederich
Rooted in Menifee. Ready to keep delivering.
Ben’s experience spans local business, education, civic service, land-use planning, and the City Council—but his purpose has always been simple: put residents first.
A lifetime of local perspective
Menifee is home.
Ben grew up in the area and attended local public schools before beginning college at Mt. San Jacinto College. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in molecular biology from UC San Diego and a law degree from the University of Southern California.
He returned to Menifee in 2015 and opened his law firm here in 2016. Ben lives, works, and spends his time in the community—and he wants more Menifee residents to have the same opportunity to build a complete life close to home.
Service before office
Long before joining the City Council, Ben served Menifee through the Chamber of Commerce, Santa Rosa Academy, local schools, business and civic organizations, and six years on the Menifee Planning Commission. Two different councilmembers appointed him to the Planning Commission, reflecting trust in his preparation and practical approach.
Working for District 2
The City Council appointed Ben to represent District 2 in January 2025 after an open public interview process. He is now running for a full term to keep important projects moving and give District 2 experienced, accessible representation.
