Family, Friends, Community
Westside Costa Mesa - the Westside is the Best Side!
Family, friends and community along with personal freedom are what I value the most. We all want a safe, clean and well managed city in which to live and raise our families. I will be your voice in District 5.
My wife and I are raising our children in Costa Mesa, my home of 29 years. We love Costa Mesa, where I have been active and invested in our community:
-
Chairman, Vice Chair and Commissioner Costa Mesa Planning Commission
-
Board Member, Secretary: Costa Mesa Community Athletic Foundation (Costa Mesa United)
-
Member, Victoria Elementary School Site Council
-
Volunteer mentor, Estancia High School
-
Member, Redevelopment and Residential Rehabilitation (3R) Committee, City of Costa Mesa
As a legal professional specializing in environmental, land use and resource issues, I know what it takes to create opportunity, preserve jobs, problem solve, and battle government red tape. Having chaired a city commission, I understand our municipal government and know how to make government run more like a business. Practical solutions for real world problems.
I strongly believe that local government should be focused on local issues, accountable to the local community; not engaged in broad social or political experiments. Residents and business owners should make decisions for Costa Mesa, not Sacramento.
As your council member, I will fight for you:
-
Protect your right to decide the future of YOUR community
-
Ensure we have “citizen driven” plans for common sense growth
-
Provide proactive services to tackle crime and keep our families safe
-
Develop realistic strategies for addressing our affordable housing and homelessness issues
-
Ensure that we are economically vibrant and prepared for the future
-
Govern for YOU, not special interests, or Sacramento.
I PLEDGE to represent YOU in making this city a great place to live for our families, friends, community and personal freedoms.
