Homeless Solutions"Every member of our community should feel safe. We must all try understand the causes of homelessness and vagrancy, then respond appropriately. Partnering and supporting our local organizations is the key to providing solutions to those in need. I will continue to invest time on our streets and work to earn the trust of those without stable homes. With solutions available, there will be no excuses for anyone to live on our streets."

Neighborhood Safety"No one knows a neighborhood better than the people who live there. I have been a voice in my neighborhood and have led the fight to keeping our area safe by suppressing crime and removing squatters. My neighborhood has implemented easy solutions for solving most every issue. We have worked hard to keep each other safe in our area. It is time for me to come along side other neighborhoods and share some of our solutions."

Community Involvement"As we begin to tackle our issues, we need a bold vision rooted in the people who make Hemet great. It takes key people to see a need and develop a group that is willing to make an impact. Engaging citizens and fulfilling needs in the community can only be accomplished by building trust and leading by example. I will continue to partner with my fellow citizens, to evaluating options and taking initiative to complete community projects. The creativity and imagination of each citizen is what makes teams well rounded and affective."

Financially Sound"Local government requires processes and procedures as well as oversight of the city’s finances and resources. I want to make sure that these guidelines are efficient in streamlining economic growth for Hemet. I want to see a balanced budget without the use of reserve funds. I believe that living with in your means is a necessary foundation for responsible governance. I will work with the other council members to find new revenue streams and savings opportunities for Hemet."

Leadership"I am committed to every aspect of growth in our community. It will take some prioritizing and energy in order for us to see progress. I will come along side citizens to get jobs done and I am not afraid to get dirty. I would never ask anyone to do something that she wouldn’t do myself. I know that with direction, plans will move forward. Progress will be made one step at a time. Let us begin together right now."

Economic Development"We need a smart growth strategy that will strengthen our economy and build our local assets. Our downtown needs to attract families, tourists and investors. I would like to see our job market expand not only with more opportunities, but a market that offers higher paying jobs and encourages and continuing education. This type of market stimulation will bring a higher wage, more local spending, more tax revenues for Hemet, and an improved local quality of life."
