Top Issues

Infrastructure / Transportation Protecting our quality of life is a top priority for me. Our residents expect well-maintained infrastructure—roads, water, and sewer—along with strong code enforcement and responsive customer service, whether from building and public works teams, IT, or our popular postal facility. Maintaining these high standards must remain a priority at every level of government in Paradise Valley. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Our Police Department offers unique concierge community services—from alarm monitoring and vacation watch to wellness checks—that reflect our deep commitment to both peace of mind and quality of life. I remain dedicated to advancing these exceptional programs and supporting our first responders so that our town continues to set the standard for safety and service. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Keeping Paradise Valley residents safe is my top priority. I will continue to collaborate closely with our dedicated police, fire, and emergency personnel, and advocate for robust training and resources. My goal is to give every resident full confidence that help will arrive quickly in an emergency. Taxes / Budget Fiscal responsibility is a fundamental priority for me in serving our town. Our residents deserve a transparent budgeting process, long-term financial forecasting, and conservative spending policies to keep our finances secure and well managed. Infrastructure / Transportation I will remain diligent in upholding the standards and vision set forth in our voter-approved general plan, ensuring that any growth is responsible and enhances our community.
