Why are you running?: 

I believe in developing policies for a higher employment rate, youth recreation, balanced city growth and the improvement of our cities infrastructure, while maintaining Porterville’s small town feel.

Quality planning must to be the main focus in the upcoming years so we may accommodate future business growth. Setting and accomplishing goals within parameters, which adhere to a fiscally responsible and accountable process, will be a crucial part of my intent to represent the entire community as a councilman.

It is my purpose to uphold faith based values and continue paving the rode towards a prosperous and strong community. As your councilperson, I will support your right to be heard, equally examine all sides of an issue, and weigh all options and consequences before making a decision.

Working together we can continue to build successful relationships with the Porterville Chamber of Commerce, Porterville School District, services clubs, and faith based organizations; thus insuring that Porterville is a city our community is proud to live in. Let us invest in the future and create an environment in which our children will flourish and become successful participants within our society.
