Judy's "Plan for Placentia"

It is time for us to focus our efforts on making Placentia a pleasant place for all of us to live, work, shop, and raise a family. I will continue to be your voice on the City Council and vote in the best interests for Placentia.

  • Supporting Family Programs and Activities
  • Instituting More Senior-Friendly Programs
  • Keeping Property Values High
  • Maintaining Low Taxes

Judy's Accomplishments on City Council Since 2000

  • Train Whistles: Our efforts to silence the train whistles that interrupted so many of our lives were successful, and our continuing work will safeguard Placentia's future by investing in railroad underpasses that will create a quieter, safer community.

  • Railroad Congestion: Our efforts to ease congestion and increase safety measures on our railroad corridor are rapidly developing. This project has funding so that emergency and law enforcement personnel can quickly respond to emergencies and not wait for the increasing number of trains to pass.

  • Education: Championed the re-opening of McFadden Elementary School, which gave Placentia a desperately needed, state-of-the-art neighborhood school.

  • Pro-business: We are working to revitalize Placentia through responsible economic development. We have funding for a redevelopment project that will allow Placentia to be a better place for us and for our children. Our business environment has improved with the attraction of new businesses, an increase in the tax base, the achievement of a high business retention rate, and a clear vision for responsibly improving Placentia's economic vitality.

  • Local Leadership: Working with our representatives to obtain state and federal money specifically for Placentia.

  • Working for Our Seniors: We have worked to create the Senior Advisory Council. We are also proactively pushing for a new Senior Center/Community Center. We are narrowing down possible locations and working on obtaining the necessary funding.

  • Responsible Fiscal Governance: We have worked to protect taxpayer dollars and made sure the city can continue to afford valuable services and necessary projects.
