Help Make It HappenWe will always prioritize the people who live, work, raise families, and run businesses in Laguna Beach. By focusing on local needs first, we can thoughtfully manage tourism, balance outside interests, and ensure our community's infrastructure and quality of life remain strong for generations to come.
Let's restore practical, common-sense leadership at City Hall through fiscal responsibility, clear communication, and genuine public engagement. We will deliver open government that explains decisions upfront, avoids unnecessary spending, and works collaboratively with residents to deliver real solutions that build trust and serve our community effectively.
Together, we will preserve and enhance the small-town coastal charm, historic heritage, vibrant arts culture, natural beauty, beaches, open spaces, and neighborhoods that make Laguna Beach truly special. By guiding thoughtful development and stewarding our environment responsibly, we can protect what we love while planning wisely for the future.
We will enhance neighborhood safety, improve beach experiences for everyone, and ensure reliable, well-maintained infrastructure. This includes stronger emergency preparedness, better drainage and road maintenance, and proactive care of our parks, beaches, and public spaces—so Laguna remains a safe, beautiful, and welcoming community year-round.
We will champion policies that help our local businesses, artists, workers, and families thrive in every season. By supporting year-round economic vitality while preserving our unique character, we can create a stronger, more resilient local economy that benefits everyone who calls Laguna Beach home.
As a fourth-generation Laguna Beach resident, I bring fresh energy, deep local knowledge, and independent leadership rooted in our town's history and committed to its future. I will deliver accountable, resident-focused stewardship that honors our past and builds an even better Laguna Beach for the next generation.
