Collapse all
|- Make Poway more affordable for families / Stop Taxes and Fee Hikes: Oppose taxes and fees at every level, including the crazy incomebased utility fee scam. Too many residences are losing their property insurance coverage, I’ll fight to make sure every resident can stay in their home
- IMPROVE quality of life for Poway families and neighborhoods / Combat Crime & Homelessness (SANDAG 2023 Crime Summary): : Support the police and give them the tools to enforce the law.
People suffering from homelessness do not belong in camps by our homes, schools, churches, or playgrounds. I will work to ensure those needing assistance have access to the programs
available. I’ll propose an ordinance banning sexually violent predators from living in Poway. - HOLD POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE/ Support Poway TERM LIMITS: Too often politicians are only looking out for themselves or their next office. Voters should have the right to set term limits on elected officials, I’ll fight to get term limits on the ballot. I will oppose any increase to Councilmember pay and fight to ban gifts from developers and special interests.
We will also pass Term Limits initiative and form Planning Commission to regulate all future Poway development (our current Mayor and City Council take campaign donations from McNamara and other developers, then vote 5-0 or 4-1 in favor of ALL developments, battery plants, 100,000 square foot corporate fitness centers in Poway Open Space, etc.).
