- While former owner & publisher of North Sacramento Journal I gave North Sacramento a unified voice that brought attention to the area's problems
Priorities:
- My #1 concern is safe streets & safe schools. We've made progress in this area but improving crime statistics does not translate into feeling safe
- I'm very aware of our schools' problems; my kids go to school in the district and my wife is a teacher so quality education is a big concern for me
- Finally, we need to concentrate on infrastructure. This means good sidewalks, curbs, gutters, streets, street lights, code enforcement, etc.
