Fiscal Conservative: I'm committed to the principles of responsible government. I believe in balanced budgets with efficient spending. Overly generous compensation packages with lavish perks for supervisors must be reformed to reflect the realities of a public service job. I am asking for your vote to make positive changes.

Ethical Accountability: Ethics and integrity matter. One the central theme to my campaign is restoring principles and honesty to the board of supervisors. San Bernardino County has an unsavory reputation as corrupted with indicted officials. From the $102 million give away of taxpayers' dollars in Colonies scandal to ongoing abuses by county officials' pandering to special interests. We can do better. How you vote matters. I don't represent special interests buying votes. I will represent you working for transparency and accountability to protect your hard-earned tax dollars.

Job creation for economic recovery: The county should limit bureaucratic regulation to allow job creation. I have been on both side of the checkbook. A real estate broker I have created minor subdivision and rehabilitated housing for new residential use. As a civic official I have held the line with excessive regulations creating unnecessary burdens on private sector creating jobs with worthwhile project adding value to our communities.
