My Top 3 Priorities

  • Rush hour traffic on SR52 is directly related to 145K Inland & East County commuters. Only 25K live in Santee. Development will continue in adjacent cities. That’s why I’m invested in the Highway 52 Coalition. I want a REAL fix to traffic congestion.
  • An immediate concern is the city’s looming $800,000 budget deficit next year. As a business professional with 30 years of experience, I have a proven track record of growing business in the nonprofit, public and private sectors.
  • I have spent a lot of time listening to our seniors about their concerns. I have experience running a community center, am a strong advocate for public safety and have experience creating and funding community resources.
