It has been an honor to serve the City of Calabasas as your Mayor and Councilmember for the past 5 years. I have worked to protect what is special about our way of life while safeguarding our hard-earned tax dollars, ensuring that Calabasas remains fiscally secure, enhancing public safety, and preserving open space.   From seniors to young families, I have strived to make certain that the City addresses the needs of our residents. 

During my term, we have had to deal with a series of once unimaginable events including disastrous fires, the current pandemic, and a harrowing economic shutdown. I am committed to making sure that Calabasas comes through these even stronger.  I am proud of how we have responded to these emergencies and will continue to work around the clock to get the job done and keep our community safe. 

As your Mayor, I helped form a regional alliance with other neighboring cities to help coordinate public safety, protect our environment, and strengthen our combined ability to improve first responder capabilities throughout the region.  Public safety and emergency preparedness are issues that we continuously need to improve and focus our efforts.

Over the past five years, I have worked hard to make the City more transparent and responsive to residents.  I have hosted numerous coffees for residents, sent a weekly Mayor’s letter, and helped the City adopt a community outreach plan for new projects. 

As a public policy advisor, I have used my professional expertise to protect Calabasas from onerous state mandates on housing and growth.   If re-elected, I will continue to be proactive in maintaining the integrity of our neighborhoods, focus on fiscal responsibility, support our schools, enhance public safety, and advance plans for disaster preparedness.  

With the economic consequences of the pandemic causing budget deficits for cities throughout our region, we were able to responsibly balance the budget without cutting public safety funding or compromising our City's commitment to serving our residents. 

My family and I are pleased to call Calabasas home and to actively volunteer in our community. I appreciate having the support of the entire City Council, former Mayors, Commissioners, entire LVUSD school board, and residents.  On November 3, I would be honored to have your vote for City Council.
