Candidate for
Council Member; City of Anaheim

Candidate Statement

I have lived in West Anaheim for over 40 years, earned a BA in Criminology from UCI, and am a former newspaper publisher. I'm currently working to obtain a certificate to teach ESL because I want to become an educator.

There are many more things I could say about myself, but I'd rather talk about what I stand for:

End corporate welfare as we know it: No more sweetheart deals or taxpayer subsidies for multi-billion dollar corporations.

Oppose regressive taxation: No increases in sales and utility taxes on workers, homeowners, and small businesses.

Neighborhoods first: No approval of developer projects without reducing and eliminating their impacts on parks, schools, traffic, and existing housing stock.

Accountable law enforcement: Establish a civilian review board with subpoena power to maintain strict oversight of our police.

Fairer representation: Expand city council size to nine members, elect them by district, and have meetings start at 7 p.m.

Invest in our youth: Increase funding for art, music, and cultural programs which enrich young minds and help develop them to their full potential.

If you want somebody who will really represent you at City Hall, not the big business interests, vote for me.
