Position Papers
Public Safety
Public safety is my number one priority. A safe city inspires a good business climate as well as good schools.
Budget Priorities
We have survived the State of California's taking of over 70 million dollars in the last 10 years and with the same expertise and creativity, we will surmount this current economic downturn. Sacrifices will be made by all, but public safety and core services will not be compromised.
Livability and Downtown Revitalization
This wonderfully diverse community that we call home is on the cusp of an downtown economic renaissance not seen since the mid 1970's. A new movie theatre complex, an anchor Cost Plus, and new restaurants provide the amenities desired by our citizens and contribute to the livability of our community.
