Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Long Beach; District 5

Dear Neighbor:

It's time for a change.

Living in Long Beach most of my life, it's time to give back to this city. With outrageous spending, bloated pensions, and tax increases, the City Council has largely forgotten whose money they're spending + yours. A fresh voice is needed, and I have the experience and the vision to bring the changes needed for our neighborhoods.

As a retired U.S. Customs Official, I have a background in law enforcement, as well as experience in balancing multi-million dollar budgets.

We must take a new approach to city issues, and protect taxpayers, strengthen public safety, and put neighborhood infrastructure repairs to the top of our priority list.

I PROPOSE:

• Creating a long term plan to balance the budget--without raising taxes!

• Establishing an infrastructure commission that will proactively repair neighborhoods, instead of waiting for our infrastructure to crumble.

• Cutting city waste so we can put more police and firefighters on the street.

• Building a new niche market for Long Beach that will bring higher paying jobs, and secure our city's prosperity for decades to come.
