Crime

As a victim of crime in Stockton, and someone who has suffered the tragic loss of loved ones; I know how essential it is to make sure that our Police department is at full Strength and have the necessary tools to be successful.

Jobs/Education

I will personally meet with companies and work to lower fees to attract businesses that will Employ&Retain Stockton residents. I will work to create vocational & educational opportunities for our kids; Preparing them for 21^st century work force.

No More TAXES!

We have been taxed to the Limit in Stockton. Measure A& Measure W Sales tax, and now as of August 1^st, 2016 we are being taxed even more for our Water. Stocktonians should not have to bail out the fiscal irresponsibility of city leadership. I will not support any proposed increases to waste and utility Taxes. As a School Board Trustee, I have cut taxes for the residents in my District.

Water

Stockton is so fortunate to have beautiful and abundance of water ways. It’s imperative that we protect our water, and say no to the delta twin tunnels and make sure that Harmful chemicals stay out of our drinking water.

I am born and Raised in Stockton, my father was a Stockton Firefighter, and mother a counselor for the Women’s Center; I learned that leadership requires sacrifice and hard work.   I am dedicated to our community; I will not stop until we make it better for all.

Stocktonians have been overtaxed to cover the RECKLESS spending of City Hall! We need leadership that will focus our resources on public safety, Jobs, and positive outlets for our youth.  I have been fighting for these things for as long as I can remember.  Attending the Sheriff’s Academy, I saw firsthand how community based public safety can make us safer. 

My work on the Stockton planning commission, gave me insight as to how to bring businesses to Stockton.  Also, being a high school and youth football coach, as well as a School Board Trustee, I am committed to building strong youth programs to teach our youth the value of teamwork, responsibility, and hard work.  I am ready and have the experience to be your City Council representative. 

If you elect me as you City Council representative, I will always put STOCKTON’S interests in front of special interests.  Stockton deserves Better!
