It has been my honor to represent the great and amazing people of the City of Yuma on local to international issues over the last 8 years as your Mayor. I believe that we have seen great growth and change during my term, however there is more to do. Your support and vote will allow me to continue to advance these efforts.

I believe job creation can only be accomplished by the private sector, however the City can foster an environment encouraging job creation. Over the last 8 years, I have worked hard to create this environment.
I believe the level of services the voters expect from the City government directly impacts the tax revenue needed to fund those programs. The current tax structure of the City is in balance and future budgets need to maintain low tax levels and continue to prevent tax increases.
I believe the first priority of City government is to provide a safe community through adequately equipped and staffed police and fire departments. This priority is a big factor in the quality of life we enjoy in Yuma that includes other factors like parks and recreation facilities and activities, quality water and sewer systems, among many others.
I believe that civic pride cannot be manufactured but only come from true engagement of the community. With this philosophy, I have spearheaded campaigns such as United For Yuma, Day of Unity, Committee Creations, 4FrontED, and others to engage the Yuma community and the greater Yuma area.
