Dear Neighbor, Our part of San Bernardino is a special place to call home. Keeping it that way is the reason I want to represent you on the City Council. Protecting our quality of life requires commitment, experience and leadership. As a resident of the 4th Ward for 27 years, I understand the concerns of our community because I grew up here, attended local schools, built my career here and serve as our representative on the City Planning Commission. Public safety is one of my top priorities. As your City Councilman, I’ll work closely with our police and firefighters to provide the highest level of protection for our neighborhoods. I will use my financial management experience as an Assistant to the County Treasurer to lower our utility taxes and insist on stronger standards of fiscal accountability. It’s also time to restore a more cooperative climate at City Hall by putting the needs of our community ahead of politics. I would be honored to serve as your voice on the City Council. Thank you for your consideration and support.
