My Top 3 Priorities

  • Public safety/quality of life; I support expanded law enforcement and firefighters, and enhanced outreach to improve transition from homeless to employment and tax paying members of our community.
  • Revitalizing Redding; Local businesses are the backbone of our economy. Support for development is needed to expand our local economy which includes the December 2017 reduction of impact fees by 17%.
  • Investing in our youth; It has never mattered more that we invest in our city’s youth to invest in our city’s future businesses, economy and leadership.
