Candidate for
Council Member; City of Irvine

Fiscal Responsibility With my extensive background in economics, I will be focused on ensuring that our City remains fiscally responsible. There are still tough economic decisions ahead, and these next few years will be key in shaping budgets to sustain the quality of life Irvine citizens currently enjoy ... without raising taxes.

Education Education drives our local economy. As an economist and municipal finance expert, I understand that not only is education important for our families, it is also a bottom-line economic building block for our City.

Senior Citizens Services With Irvine's growing senior population, it is essential that we plan for the programs and services that help our senior citizens. As Chair of the Irvine Senior Citizens Council, I have been working to implement the Irvine Senior Services Strategic Plan, which provides our older residents with important services in the areas of education, housing, mental and physical health, recreation and transportation.
