Candidate for
Supervisor; County of Orange; Supervisorial District 5

➢ Public Safety ○ I believe Public Safety is government's number one responsibility. When the economy is down, crime goes up. I believe a stronger economy goes hand in hand with keeping our streets safe. As Mayor of Dana Point, I created the Contract Cities Working Group, which opened communication between the Orange County Sheriff's Department and all mayors in the contract cities in Orange County. This working group allows for public safety and government officials to discuss reallocation of resources, city-based crime reports/trends, specific areas of potential improvement and overall efficiency to keep cost within budget for each city. By keeping public safety a top priority, we will maintain our focus on drug prevention, decreasing criminal activity and managing the side-effects of the implementation of Jerry Brown's Early Release Program known as AB 109.

➢ Transportation ○ Improving transportation and mobility in South Orange County is vitally important to preserve our quality of life. With more than 10,000 homes in the Great Park and 14,000 homes in Rancho Mission Viejo approved for construction, traffic congestion in the area is a pressing issue that requires proactive solutions and effective leadership. As the Chairwoman of the Foothill Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) I have been incredibly proud of the progress our board has made regarding the of the 241 Toll Road extension.

➢ Obamacare ○ With the failed implementation of Obamacare, healthcare has become a major concern for most Americans. I will heavily scrutinize the mandated implementation of this law and advocate for reforms at the state and federal level that promote choice and strengthen the patient-doctor relationship. As a county we need to assist those who have either been dropped from their previous insurance plans, forced to pay a higher premium or have lost their primary care physician of choice. We must entirely rethink how the county best serves the needs of the community while providing cost effective medical treatment options to save taxpayer dollars. Educating the public at large is important to achieve these goals and objectives.

➢ Strengthen Local Economic Viability ○ We must develop initiatives that will improve development and infrastructure throughout our county and serve as a strong foundation for our industrious business community. For example, the Dana Point Harbor Revitalization Plan is an important element to improving South Orange County's economic viability because it advances our harbor's accessibility and use for residents and tourists alike. The Tri-City Trolley Plan will provide transportation to key locations in South Orange County, and solving our regional mobility and transportation issues on our roads and highways will ultimately stimulate our local economy. I also believe we should explore alternative methods of bringing money into the county that are not dependent upon state or federal assistance.
