Thank you for visiting my website. San Diego County is one of the most beautiful places in the world. From rolling mountains and valleys to pristine beaches and lagoons, it's great to call this County home. The Third District encompasses the beautiful cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Solana Beach and San Diego (Carmel Mountain, Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Mesa, La Jolla, Mira Mesa, Navajo, Pacific Beach, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Sabre Springs, San Carlos, Scripps Ranch, Tierrasanta, Torrey Hills and Torrey Pines).
San Diego County has more than three million residents which makes it larger than 20 states in the union. We must fight to get our fair share from Sacramento and Washington, D.C. With a growing population, we must ensure we preserve and protect our quality of life.
With my experience in local and national government and my years in the private sector owning my own business, I want to take a lot of those principals and make it work for us. Government officials have to be held accountable by taxpayers.
As your next Supervisor, I want to fight for the following and more:
-
Retain, recruit and create businesses that provide better paying jobs.
-
Protect and support the men and women of law enforcement and ensure they have the tools they need to get the job done.
-
All of our laws must be enforced. Sheriff deputies should be given the authority (under 287 (g), Homeland Security) to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for those who are suspected of violating our immigration laws.
-
Provide constructive after-school programs that keep our children off the street and out of trouble. I want to go from a service base economy to a knowledge base economy by promoting after-school activities that focus on math, science and technology.
-
Every child born in the United States deserves to have a chance to succeed in our society. That is why I will promote after-school programs that will work with those students where English is their second language. I believe that assimilation into our language and culture is the basis to build a strong foundation for success.
-
Working with local and volunteer fire departments, create a County-wide Regional Fire Fighting Authority. With two major fire catastrophes and a population of more than three million people, it is time!
- Enhance the Veterans Service Office. With more than 260,000 veterans throughout our region, San Diego County has the second largest veteran population in the state. We need to provide assistance to those brave men and women who have served our country.
- There are more than 374,000 residents without healthcare insurance throughout our region. The County should promote and provide resources to community clinics that would assist in prevention and treatment, therefore relieving the overcrowding in emergency rooms and saving tax dollars.
-
Fight to preserve and protect our environment and put into the County charter a provision to invest in the latest technology to clean up our lakes, rivers, lagoons and beaches. We have to protect the crown jewel of our region that makes us so unique. Not only for our children and future generations to enjoy, our natural resource provides millions of dollars in revenue to our region from visitors throughout the world who wish to enjoy this place we call home. We must protect this natural investment and our quality of life.
These are a few issues that I look forward to working with you (we are all in this together) and other local, state and federal officials. I really would appreciate your vote and support. If you should have any questions, please call me at (858) 395-2133.
Again, thank you.
