3 things I will do if I win:

Icon: "Protect" is displayed beneath 3 figures: a policeperson holding his arm out blocking a person in handcuffs to the left, protecting another person on the policeperson's right.

1. We all deserve to feel safe in our communities. Letting violent criminals out of jail with no bail, supporting rioting, and failing to prosecute criminals, and then defunding our police departments has created significant challenges, but they can be fixed.

Icon: outline of a house with an arrow and a $ sign pointing down.

2. On Day 1, I will propose “Don’t tax your tips”, so service employees keep more of their hard-earned money. We need to empower small businesses in East County by reducing burdensome regulations and providing the tools necessary for success.

3. There is no doubt about the failures of the bad policies on our streets everyday in East County. Our future is bright. Addressing homelessness demands compassionate leadership and innovative strategies rather than hate and division.
