Candidate for
Mayor; City of Encinitas

As your Deputy Mayor, with deep roots in our community, I've worked to solve problems with vision and results. As a community volunteer and 10-year veteran in the Army National Guard, I understand how to get results; by listening to neighborhood concerns, then turning your priorities into action.

I've led Encinitas forward with real results:

• Improved government openness, creating more opportunities for you to have a say
• Made the city budget searchable online
• Invested in public safety, including securing funds for the new lifeguard tower at Moonlight Beach
• Saved Pacific View school from developers to preserve the public land for future generations
• Reforming policies to keep city trees healthy while also increasing urban agriculture and community gardens

• Focus on doing more of the deferred maintenance like road repairs
• Implement Pacific View school activation, including revenue generation
• Engage the community to meet state housing requirements, with a public vote in 2016
• Work with Regional, State, and Federal agencies to reduce the impacts of trains on our quality of life
• Keep working to reduce tra_c congestion on our streets, improving the ability to walk or bike through town
• Continue our emphasis on increased enforcement to solve the problems with noise and nuisances for residents near downtown restaurants and bars
