Phoenix works best when the City Council takes a collaborative approach to tackling tough issues.
We need to solve problems with smart solutions - not play politics.
Investing in Public Safety & Reducing Crime
From spearheading the anti-gang initiative to cracking down on crime and controlling methamphetamine, I have a proven track record of being a strong voice for public safety to reduce crime and to keep Phoenix families safe. I wholeheartedly support Phoenix's police officers and firefighters and respect their service and sacrifice. I stood with our first responders during my time on the Phoenix City Council, and I will stand with them again.
I am committed to:
Protecting current public safety funding levels
Investing in first responders
Working with neighborhood associations to strengthen block watch programs
Cracking down on graffiti, street racing and other criminal behavior
Ensuring District 1 receives their fair share of public safety funding
Promoting Fiscal Responsibility
As the economy emerges from the COVID-19 crisis, the Phoenix City Council will need to take a hard look at its budget and the impacts of a slowing economy. With dozens of factors from the rising unemployment to cancellation of the Cactus League and the tourism it generates, we know that the city is facing shrinking revenues from all sectors.
He put America first and he believed that a strong and cohesive nation would be in the best interest of all Americans. He was one of the greatest activist for conservation and was driving force behind many of our National Parks.

I learned this, as a boy, working towards my rank of Eagle Scout.
I was almost 4 years old.
I also put in thousands of hours helping to build a family business.
Experience in zoning issues is critical. I was the Chairman of the Deer Valley Village Planning Committee and I solved some of the most complex zoning issues while I was in the City Council. These issues were not even in District 1.
