WHAT'S THE BIGGEST NEED YOU HOPE TO ADDRESS IF ELECTED?

Since the beginning of my first term of office, the members of the Fire District have established a list of goals which will enable them to better take care of the needs of the public. Our Board of Directors have diligently worked to fulfill many of these goals and other goals are in process. My plan is to continue working to help fulfill these goals for the full benefit of everyone who lives or owns property in East County Fire Protection District.

WHY ARE YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE?

I was an instrumental part in making the meetings of the Board of Directors for East County Fire Protection District more transparent and open to the public and also with the expansion from a three to a five member Board of Directors. With a new and larger Board of Directors, we fully support all the members of our Fire District as they continue to take care of the needs of the public.
