My Candidate Statement

Let’s get back to basics. Leaders should stop chasing pipedreams and say “no” to special interests. Let’s invest now in things that will make Barstow a better place for everyone today and in the future. We can’t expect to attract new businesses or residents to Barstow, and turn our local economy around, unless we make it a priority to clean-up Barstow. I am the only candidate for Mayor with a solid record of support for Barstow’s hardworking police officers. Others have effectively dismantled our Police Department and ignored the rising crime rate. Let’s make sure our police have the resources they need. I am leading the effort to make repairing our neighborhood streets and potholes a priority at City Hall. We should improve our sidewalks and parkways too. We need at traffic signals and cross walks intersections on Rimrock, Muriel and Monterey. Children and seniors need safe places to go and services that promote health and opportunities for a better quality of life. Barstow needs leaders who are mindful of community concerns about the availability of clean water and the environment. We can save the taxpayers money by going green at City Hall. I am proud to say I was born and raised in Barstow. Today, four generations of my family live in Barstow. Let’s work together to make sure our children and grandchildren can share that pride. Thank you for your consideration. Let’s clean up Barstow.
