I am the only candidate with experience in aerospace and job creation and retention.

Keeping and attracting businesses and jobs in the South Bay will be a top priority.

I am proud to have the support of the Redondo Beach Police Officers and Firefighters Associations, Peace Officers Research Association of California (PORAC), and the Hermosa Beach Police Officers. Public safety, including rapid response times by police and paramedic first responders, must remain our top budget priority.

I support the eventual elimination of the power plant and other polluting industries, but do not support measures which will result in endless lawsuits and potentially bankrupt the City.  As an avid boater, I support efforts to reduce coastal pollution and protect wildlife.

We must maintain our quality public services while maintaining reserves and avoiding unnecessary lawsuits against Redondo Beach taxpayers. We can increase city revenues with prudent investments and expansion of tax-generating businesses.

As Chairman of the Harbor Commission, I am working every day with the businesses, boat owners, and District Two residents most impacted by the current Waterfront Revitalization plans. No other candidate has the background or in depth knowledge on this vital issue.  I support quality pier and harbor improvements that attract local patrons and protect local homeowners.

Redondo Union High School is the largest piece of property in District Two. I have a great working relationship with the superintendent and school board members and will work closely with them to minimize the public impact of the exciting new facilities at RUHS while maintaining our great educational and athletic programs.

I oppose making Prospect Avenue or Catalina Avenue 2-lane roads!  We need to continue to insure that commuter traffic and business parking does not encroach into residential streets. As incoming Chairman of the Redondo Beach Chamber of Commerce, I will work with local businesses to be better neighbors to local residents.
