My highest priority is to build a community that we can all be proud of. 

I believe the role of an elected official is to serve his constituents in a spirit of common purpose and a focus on community needs. I am campaigning for Supervisor of Monterey County, District I. The election is on June 5, 2012. I want to serve you in a greater capacity to continue focusing on the issues that are important to you. 

 As your neighborhood politician, I have advocated for public safety as a parent patrol, making sure children get to school safely. Clean neighborhoods give everyone a safer feeling of their surroundings, your family deserves that. So when your child leaves home on their way to school, they develop a positive attitude of themselves and their neighborhood. We need to take responsibility by keeping an eye out for each other and reporting any suspicious activity.

Also, just as important, investing in early childhood education. It has been proven that when a child knows how to read and write, they develop a positive image of themselves. It gives them a better opportunity to succeed in life and become law abiding citizens.   

Parents play a key role when they are involved in their child's after school programs. Encouraging parents to get involved in the development of their children sometimes can be a struggle because of other responsibilities. I strongly believe that when mom and dad get involved in their childrens daily activities, they will grow up to be responsible teenagers.
