Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

It is my belief that our assessor's office (because it's yours too) is ready to begin a new story. We suffer from the problem of having a reactive, not proactive government. Initiative, flexibility and innovation are as important to running a government service as they are a business. The assessor's current system is rife with outmoded or inefficient programming (new as it is), substandard hardware, and irrelevant processes for the modern era. This is especially important considering the size and scope of Los Angeles County.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Strategy 1: Streamline & Stay Flexible.
• Strategy 2: Do the Work Today, Save on Work Tomorrow
• Strategy 3: Increase Inter-Agency Cooperation

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Strategy 4: Better Hiring, Promotions, and Retention.

You can read more about all of these and more on my website!

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

Beneficial, yes. It's not absolutely necessary. The candidate should have a desire to learn and have an agenda.

The candidate should have a desire to learn and have an agenda.
