I'm a fourth-generation Inland Empire resident raising my family here in the community I grew up in. At the age of twelve, I started working with my grandfather at the San Bernardino County Courthouse cafeteria. I then put myself through college with the assistance of student loans and federal grants, and went on to establish a life in public service to give back to the community that raised me.
My goal has always been to serve as a voice for middle-class families throughout San Bernardino County, which is why I'm focused on policies to create jobs, support local students, and protect critical programs for veterans and seniors.
As the Mayor of Redlands, I worked to gain a reputation for bipartisanship and have always been committed to making our region a better place to live, work and raise a family.
