As a Palm Desert business owner for nearly a decade, I am invested in our community. I understand the importance of listening, financial responsibility, and working well with others. I cannot sit back and watch the current hostile environment, and inappropriate spending of City dollars, while crime, homelessness, and our neighborhoods in need, are ignored. My priority is to fix this. I am humbled to have earned the support of elected and business leaders in Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley. I support: - Public Safety: Our success depends on safety and security. - Fiscal Responsibility: Strong reserves and balanced budgets. - Local Businesses: The foundation of our economy and future. - Civil and Transparent Government: Our leaders must work together to benefit everyone.
