I commit to making a difference in our community. Based on the feedback I have received from many Elk Grove residents, I have identified key issues that I plan to proactively address. If you would like to call me to discuss any of these issues and more, call me at : (916) 715-8065

Key Campaign Issues:

• 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 will work towards becoming a Charter City for greater local control, and propose a term limit for city wide office such that elected officials may serve no longer than 8 years.


• I will fight for smart, controlled growth with a 5, 10, 25 and 50 year vision of the city and region, while maintaining open space.


• With regard to the zoning code and general plan, I will ensure that the citizens of Elk Grove and developers have the best options available.


• I will work on traffic issues with local, regional, state and federal agencies to solve our problems, and work to increase the quality of public transportation.
