Candidate for
Council Member; City of Antioch

I have called Antioch home since 2004; crime is on the rise, our police are not fully-funded, City services are on the decline and City Budget balancing is a challenge. My enthusiasm to become your voice as a City Council member is to represent you without bias and to involve you and the community in all the decision-making processes of City government and bring about change, which will benefit all of us.

If you choose me to represent you in the November elections, I will be transparent, committed, dedicated and involved in our community and speak for you and all the citizens of Antioch in the decision-making process. I will conduct monthly town hall meetings at different locations for your convenience throughout the City so that I can listen to all of your concerns first-hand and address them with fellow Council Members and the Mayor for resolution. My goal will be to work very closely with the City Manager to ensure the following:

1.Ensure a balanced annual City Budget.
2.Hire more police, no more layoffs.
3.Promote business development and local job creation.
4.Commit to the revitalization of Downtown Antioch.
5.Create funding initiatives to maintain an acceptable quality of life for the residents.
6. Request absolute transparency and highest integrity from City Council members as well as City staff without exception.

"My commitment to the citizens of Antioch is to involve you, hear you and serve you without reservation. My pledge to you is: I have no personal agenda; my only motivation for becoming a Council Member is to serve Antioch, my community, honestly, fairly, transparently and with highest integrity. No more business as usual; I will initiate teamwork, introduce thinking-outside-the-box strategies, conflict resolution and creative solutions."
