Planning a Better Future

Visionary Strategic Planning

We will champion the expansion of commercial and retail centers to generate new tax dollars, fueling Benicia's economic growth while preserving our community’s unique heritage. Our plan includes developing new housing options that meet the needs of Benicia’s future, from affordable, family-centered housing for the missing middle to senior housing that allows longtime community members to age in place. We will continue to help streamline development hurdles and improve processes to create a Benicia where progress and preservation coexist in harmony.

Empowering Open Government

Let’s bring government closer to the people by moving beyond traditional methods and embracing innovative technology. We’ll utilize social media and modern communication tools to keep our constituents informed and engaged, ensuring that every voice is heard and every decision is transparent. Inspired by the successes of other communities. We’ll connect with citizens like never before.

Commitment to Fiscal Sustainability

Together, we’ll build a stronger financial foundation for Benicia by continuing to streamline community services, reducing overhead costs, and generating new sources of revenue through economic expansion and operational efficiency. With transparent audits and a participatory budgeting process that empowers our residents, we’ll support local businesses and ensure that every dollar is spent wisely for our community’s future.

Dedicated Safety and Security

We will lead the charge in enhancing safety across Benicia by implementing cutting-edge crime prevention technologies. Protecting our citizens and ensuring that our police officers and firefighters are competitively compensated to keep our community safe, will continue to be one of my top priorities.

Bold Business Collaboration

Let's secure Benicia’s economic future by fostering the growth of our local businesses and attracting job-centric employers. We'll focus on expanding retail jobs and increasing retail square footage to boost sales tax revenue, ensuring our city remains financially vibrant and resilient for generations to come.

Unwavering Support for Education

We will invest in the future of our children by strengthening the bonds between PTAs, the Benicia Education Foundation, educators, and the City. Together, we’ll enhance the safety and accessibility of our schools, ensuring that every student can learn and thrive in a secure environment.
