CUSTOMER SERVICE EXCELLENCE
I believe local elected officials should stay focused on service, not politics. My non-partisan, customer service-driven initiatives prioritize what matters.
I believe we must adapt when things aren't working, just like businesses do. My commitment to transparency and continuous reflection on delivering excellent customer service ensures local policies remain effective and community-focused.
SAFE & PEACEFUL NEIGHBORHOODS
Public safety is a priority. I work closely with law enforcement, firefighters, and community organizations to ensure the well-being and security of all residents.
When first elected in San Marcos, our city regularly faced gang injunctions to prohibit criminal activity on our streets. I worked tirelessly to ensure law enforcement was equipped with the resources to protect residents and maintain a presence in our neighborhoods. When the school district didn’t have the budget, I found the funding to support School Resource Officers to keep students, faculty, and visitors safe on school campuses. We earned the Excellence in Prevention Advocacy Award for championing drug and alcohol prevention efforts with stricter ban enforcement for selling and possessing synthetic drugs.
Today, San Marcos is ranked in the Top 15 Safest Cities in the entire state of California.
TOP NOTCH FIRE PREVENTION
The San Marcos Fire Department earned the highest possible insurance industry rating for fire department services, called a “Class 1” rating. Some of the criteria include water availability, equipment, staffing, training, and one of the fastest response times in San Diego County.
Under my watch, achieving a Class 1 rating has led to lower insurance premiums for residents and businesses. Wildfire risk is top of mind and there’s no reason we shouldn’t strive and achieve the highest standards throughout San Diego County.
SMART GROWTH AND THRIVING
Throughout my 20 years of service, staying ahead of housing requirements ensured development aligned with the changing needs of our families and businesses. I champion thoughtful negotiations that respect property rights and community character. Under my leadership, we created a city that supports diverse living—from urban North City to rural Twin Oaks Valley.
I brought a proactive approach to addressing housing insecurity and homelessness, which resulted in one of the lowest homelessness levels in San Diego County and provides thousands of adults and children with a safe place they call home.
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
San Marcos is the 1st city in the county to create a Leading, Efficiency, Accountability and Engagement (LEAN) department. This pioneering approach to financial management ensures efficient use of your hard-earned money.
San Marcos historically has the lowest tax increments, so when our residents trusted us by supporting a sales tax to bridge our budget gap, I created LEAN to establish accountability and transparency for how their money is spent.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY DISTRICT 5
The 5th District covers the northernmost part of San Diego County, and is more commonly known as “North County,” with approximately 700,000 residents. The 5th District is the largest, making up over 51% of the entire county.
FUN FACT: District 5 is bigger than the state of Delaware!
It stretches from the wave-swept sands of the Oceanside coast to the pine-topped hills of the Palomar Mountain Range and beyond to the expanses of Ocotillo Wells. District 5 is a vast resource of nature, industry, universities, resorts, golf courses, fine restaurants, agriculture, and home to the world-renowned San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park.
