Housing We must have transparency and accountability for the resources we spend combatting homelessness. I will insist on making sure the city accounts for the money they spend and measure its impact and effectiveness. Economy As your Councilman, I will work to simplify regulations and reduce red tape to attract new businesses, and support the ones already here, so that they can thrive and create jobs and generate income for our city. Housing Well-paying jobs and affordable housing are the cornerstone of a vibrant community. I’ll work to get homes built, reduce the cost of living, cut red tape at City Hall, and lead the charge to recruit job creators to our city. Taxes / Budget As your councilman, I will fight for fiscal responsibility and work to prevent abuses of Measure N money. I’ll keep up the fight led by Councilman Freeman to ensure that our roads and parks are well-maintained, and our neighborhoods remain a gem of the city. We’ll maintain and improve public parks, recreational facilities, and green spaces for families and individuals to enjoy. Housing I support current efforts to build on our public-private partnerships with faith-based organizations to improve housing and treatment for those looking for resources such as mental and physical health services, substance abuse care, and shelter with a path to ending chronic homelessness. Housing I strongly support No Camping ordinances to end the occupation of our streets and will advocate to increase resources for quickly dismantling and cleaning up encampments. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I am dedicated to strengthening our city’s police and fire departments and pledge that I will only vote for budgets that maintain and add police officers and firefighters to the force and will immediately oppose budgets that cut our public safety heroes.
