Candidate for
Council Member; City of Stockton; Council District 1

Protecting the citizens of Stockton is our first and most important responsibility. As a retired investigator for both the Sheriff's Department and District Attorney's office, I have spent my entire career fighting to keep murderers and violent criminals off our streets. My work contributed to the convictions of some of San Joaquin's most notorious criminals including Antonio Espinosa, Monty McFall, and the guilty pleas of fellow conspirators, Sheriff Baxter Dunn and N. Allen Sawyer.

After a successful 34-year career in law enforcement I was elected to the City Council where I have worked tirelessly to make Stockton a safer community. I serve on the Marshall Plan Committee, and played a role in the development of this successful crime plan. We implemented Operation Cease Fire, which led to a significant reduction in violent crime, even during difficult fiscal times.

Our city has made great strides, but the job is not finished. Moving forward, Stockton will experience the benefits of a fully funded Marshall Plan that includes 120 more police officers. I will continue to make public safety my top priority and will make sure our police department has the resources to protect us from crime, drugs, gangs and graffiti.
