As a husband and father of four who is raising his children in Costa Mesa, I want to make sure our city remains a great place to raise families. Young families are the lifeblood of any community and jobs are critical to a family’s survival. We need to develop our private sector and bring more jobs to Costa Mesa, and as a business owner I know what is needed to bring more employers to our city.

 

We also need to continue upgrading our infrastructure. Infrastructure is not only limited to roads, but also includes schools, parks and all of the technical structures which allow our city to operate. A good infrastructure provides the building blocks for which family friendly cities rely.

 

Our community has worked hard together to keep Costa Mesa safe. Thanks to community involvement, good planning and a great police force, crime rates have fallen in recent years. But, in order to keep our city protected we must do more to fight gangs, graffiti and illegal immigration.

 

As Chairman of the Costa Mesa Planning Commission, I’ve worked to find common ground with all parties. Whether reconfiguring the South Coast Home Furnishing Center or bringing In-N-Out Burger to Harbor and the 405, we must continue to make improvements to our city. Please, join my campaign and let us work together to keep Costa Mesa moving in the right direction.
