Key Priorities for District 4
Transparent and Accountable Government
- Residents deserve to know what their city is doing before decisions are made that affect their home, businesses, and daily lives.
- I commit to proactive communication and meaningful community engagement.
Infrastructure, Traffic & Responsible Growth
- Growth must come with the infrastructure to support it. We must be forward thinking in reducing traffic congestion and planning responsibly for new development.
- We must ensure residents and businesses aren’t left enduring the consequences of poor planning.
Supporting Businesses & Local Jobs
- Small businesses are the backbone of Santa Clarita. The City should be a partner—especially when it comes to new development and environmental impacts on City-approved projects.
- I support good-paying jobs, prevailing wages, and opportunities for local skilled workers.
Housing Residents Can Afford
- Teachers, working families, students, young adults, and seniors should have a realistic opportunity to live in the community they serve and call home.
Environmental Stewardship
- Development should meet housing needs without sacrificing open space.
- In our drought-prone region, water conservation and long-term water reliability should be part of all development decisions.
