REAL COMMITMENT, REAL RESULTS

"We've worked hard turning our neighborhoods around. Crime is down, though not enough. We've built schools, paved streets, filled potholes, and revitalized businesses. But there's more to be done."

Consumer Watchdog! Gas and electric bills are outrageous. I will fight to roll back rates and end price gouging!

Taxpayer Watchdog! I will not permit the ballpark to drain money from our neighborhoods. Build it within voter-approved budget without further city subsidy.

TONI ATKINS. Our best advocate at City Hall. Toni helped:

  • Build new classrooms at three local elementary schools.
  • Triple the number of police storefronts.
  • Implement Before/After School Programs for our kids.
  • Increase the supply of affordable housing.

A North Park homeowner, Toni puts neighborhoods first! Toni will:
  • Improve streets/sidewalks.
  • Give police tools needed to fight juvenile crime.
  • Work to relieve neighborhood traffic congestion.
  • Develop "smart growth strategies."
  • Protect canyons and preserve single-family neighborhoods.

"Together, we'll move forward - not backward - to create safe, livable, affordable neighborhoods for everyone."
