Commitment To The Community
We need new approaches to local leadership that resonates with all residents and puts our community in a position to benefit from equitable local policies and programs. I understand and empathize with the hardships and struggles that entangle many of our fellow residents in a bind that can lead to social and economic disadvantages with little room for relief.
If you elect me as your councilmember:
• I am committed to making local government more inclusive and accessible, taking a proactive approach to addressing the issues we face, and reprioritizing the city budget to support and enhance critical services that many residents depend on. I am further committed to accountability, transparency, and in Prop 218 compliance.
• I am committed to having town hall meetings throughout the year, so that I can hear from all residents and take their concerns and issues back with me to council for further discussion and a potential future agenda item.
• I am committed to always following the law.
• I am committed in helping make sure that our public safety is never in jeopardy.
• I am committed to making decisions that benefits most of the citizens and not any special interest or select few.
• I am committed to helping put us back on track and moving forward in getting new business, more revenue, a balanced budget, and more.
• I am committed to working many hours outside of expected council and special meetings.
• I am committed to ongoing community engagement.
• I am committed to addressing and finding a remedy with plan on all the core issues outlined in the Kern County Grand Jury Report.
• I am committed to addressing the lingering issues our city has been dealing with for years.
• I am committed to not providing false promises.
• I am committed to addressing all municipal codes not in force, needing changes, or out of compliance.
I will remain consistent in my commitment to the people first and will always make sure your concerns are heard and not dismissed.
