Position Papers
General Statement of Positions and Principles
I support the maintenance of effective public safety services, more aggressive efforts to stimulate local economic prosperity and particularly to create more high quality jobs, initiatives to provide more affordable housing for our workforce, an effective street and infrastructure maintenance program, and the development of a strong cultural arts and tourist program.
Past Stands on Important Issues
Since election to the Ventura City Council, I've fought to assure better management and greater accountability in City administration, diligently pursued constructive solutions to budget problems and sought creative ways to increase revenue without raising taxes. Earlier, I led the Coalition Against Measure "O" saving $250 million dollars for taxpayers, fought fiscal irresponsibility in water agency management, and was a pioneer in modern emergency medical services.
