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?

• I will work to make the city safer by empowering the police, allowing them to do their jobs. I will propose the "Broken Window" program that has been successful in numerous large cities.
• I intend to advocate for lower taxes, and I will fight any attempt to raise them again. Lower taxes will support economic growth by creating more local jobs which will help reduce poverty.
• I plan to insist on total accountability from all elected city officials as well as the appointed leaders.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I am personally passionate about public policy concerning Safety, Lower taxes and Accountability from all elected and appointed officials. Also, the public policy concerning homelessness, overbuilding and transportation. I will work with the City Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to make sure our city is growing in the right way.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Accountability and accessibility.
