Candidate for
Council Member; City of La Mesa

Living in La Mesa for over 50 years has given me deep roots and connections in the City. In addition to running a business in La Mesa I have volunteered much of my time working with charities and service organizations. Some of these include the Red Cross, San Diego Blood Bank, San Diego Food Bank, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts and a variety of Churches. I will use these connections to accomplish question 2. Also, La Mesa should be a place where City Government provides its core functions (Fire, Police, infrastructure, permits, zoning enforcement, etc) equally and is friendly and helpful to residents and businesses alike regardless of personal or political affiliation. I believe city staff is very good at this and will follow the lead of the elected officials who behave likewise. We, as residents, do not exist to serve the elected officials. Elected officials and staff are there to serve the residents of our city
