Candidate for
Council Member; City of Signal Hill

I plan on improving the current quality of life through additional community services for seniors, youth and families, by adding pedestrian and bicycle paths throughout the City, creating community gardens, and increasing public safety. I want to preserve the City's diverse history. I plan on maintaining responsible development and smart growth through planned commercial and residential development and will improve the City's "green space" with additional parks. I will push to increase communication between the City and residents by improving the City's website and establishing a transparency policy for increased community awareness of City decisions.

In short, I want to insure the City of Signal Hill you live in today, is the City you want to live in tomorrow.
