In the 90’s, I became involved with community issues that affect Elk Grove. I have found that many community leaders place their own interests above the interest of the citizens of Elk Grove.


I invite you to join my campaign. We face difficult decisions, and daunting tasks. Here are just a few reasons why I invite you to support my campaign:

• Get tough on crime: Crime is out of control in Elk Grove. It's time to stop playing politics with Law Enforcement. We need to put more police on the streets and enact tougher laws to crack down on gang members and repeat offenders. I believe that public safety is city government's most important duty. Elk Grove Citizens shouldn't have to live in fear. I believe our neighborhoods and schools should be safe places for our children to grow up. I will build bridges between our police, fire, park and school district officials to educate and empower students and parents to resolve issues involving crime and safety.
  
  
• Revive the local Economy: Foreclosures are up and home values are down. Elk Grove needs to become a city that attracts new businesses and good jobs. I will keep taxes and fees low, make sure your tax dollars are spent wisely, and cut the red tape to make Elk Grove a thriving local economy.


• Honest and Transparent Government: I have been raising my family in Elk Grove since 1990. For years I have worked tirelessly to make public officials accountable to the people, not special interests. It's time to end the backroom deals and bring openness and transparency to city government. I will always support public engagement in all aspects of city government from projects to issues, and will vigorously maintain open communication with my fellow citizens, always listening to all sides to render the most informed votes.


• I have successfully brought forth ordinances passed by the Elk Grove City Council


• I have worked with other community groups on projects and summit meetings to better our city
