Infrastructure / Transportation Add Miles of New Lanes to keep traffic moving efficiently on our busiest streets. Housing Conservatorship- People cannot choose to be homeless, we must help them help themselves. Economy Protect Prop 13. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Building Adequate Evacuation Routes: This is especially important in rural and unincorporated areas of the County. These wide roads can also halt the progress of an advancing fire. Infrastructure / Transportation Modernized Traffic Signals – Use fiber-optic technology, allowing for synchronized and coordinated signal timing to improve traffic flow, just like I did in Vista. Housing Breakup Homeless Camps- a threat to public safety. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Creating Appropriate Firebreaks: These need to be as wide as 300 feet, the length of a football field, in forested areas to keep the fire from jumping. Taxes / Budget Oppose Sales Tax Increases. Taxes / Budget Oppose the Vehicle Milage Tax (VMT). Criminal Justice / Public Safety Removing Ignition Sources: Especially illegal homeless encampments. Housing Provide Shelter. Criminal Justice / Public Safety No more early releases or parole for those that harm our children. Taxes / Budget Oppose the Housing Sales Tax (Transfer Tax). Infrastructure / Transportation Hold Developers Accountable – While we need more housing, I’ll insist that new housing projects do not worsen traffic congestion. Every development must fully offset its traffic impact with infrastructure improvements that leave our roads better than before. Immigration Oppose Dangerous Sanctuary City Policies that protect Murders, Rapists and Drug Dealers.
