Bringing Us All to City Hall — Working for You
I ran for City Council because Vallejo needs stronger, more effective leadership to push major reform and change to address the challenges facing our City.
Frank talk, fresh ideas and energy are needed to solve problems you have been concerned about for years. Here’s what I’ve been working on since my election. Do read on for the priorities you’ve told me you want me to continue to address.
Working 24/7 on COVID response for residents, businesses and churches
Organized neighborhood clean-ups to fight disease, vandalism, graffiti, illegal dumping
Conducted Town Hall meetings in every neighborhood (continuing online!)
Passed anti-eviction legislation
Supported homeless shelter center
Expanded affordable housing and “hire local” programs
Working to implement Independent Citizen Oversight/Police Department Reform
My Priorities
Health and Safety
I’m leading the fight to reform the Police Department, implement civilian oversight, and hold bad police officers accountable. The City must maintain effective 911 response capacity as we continue to address COVID and hazardous fire seasons. I lead monthly neighborhood cleanups to eliminate litter, graffiti and blight because our neighborhoods and public areas must be kept health, safe and clean.
City - School Partnerships
As a father, nothing is more important to me than quality education. The City can do more to support our schools by partnering to increase school safety and helping to address online learning and wifi access learning needs.
Homelessness / Housing
This national health emergency affects the most vulnerable in our communities. We must better provide compassionate mental health, substance abuse, and job training programs to transition people off the street while ensuring our business areas, parks and public areas are safe for everyone. I helped pass a tough rent control ordinance to protect tenants from unfair evictions and have worked to expand the City’s affordable housing.
Jobs / Economic Development
My local small business serves medical patients. As we struggle with the COVID-recession, I’ll bring aggressive, “can do” leadership to help our businesses stay open, bring new ones to our City, and create jobs.
