Candidate for
Mayor; City of Monrovia

What does it mean to be the Mayor of Monrovia? And why am I asking you to support me in this quest?

• The Mayor of our city must be a team builder able to bring consensus among the Council Members while encouraging our City Staff to reach for new heights.

• The Mayor must be able to communicate with citizens, city council colleagues, partners at the school district and Chamber of Commerce, regional counterparts, the media, and city staff.

• The Mayor of Monrovia must be a regional leader who has built strong local, state, and national relationships.

• The Mayor of Monrovia must be visionary.

Leadership
-- Built regional relationships by serving on many regional boards and commissions.
-- Holds strong and respectful relationships with our elected officials at state and national levels.

These key relationships ensure our voice will be heard at all levels of government and will be especially important as we move forward with the Gold Line Extension, receive grants, and affect legislation that benefits our community.

The City of Monrovia deserves a Mayor who has the proven ability to understand the inner workings of our community, the vital partnership with the Schools and Chamber, our historic richness, and strong regional relationships. Our City cannot afford a mistake, the stakes are too high; the crisis of the state and national economics, and how they affect our community cannot be left to someone who does not have the experience, leadership and vision qualities that I bring to this very important job.
