Education: High school graduate and two years at Orange Coast College

Occupation: Kent City Councilmember; Owner, Golden Steer Steak & Rib House

Statement: I'm a public servant, not a politician.

As your councilmember, I've earned a reputation as a watchdog and strong advocate for the people. I'll continue working to keep our neighborhoods safe and ensure everyone in our diverse city has an opportunity to succeed.

When others proposed a budget that raised taxes and cut road improvements, I successfully worked to use our funds more efficiently to prevent a tax increase, maintain funding for roads and provide additional parks funding.

I'm the only candidate for mayor with a voting record that matches my promises. You can count on me to conduct myself with integrity and treat everyone respectfully. That's reflected in the way I treat my family, employees and constituents. 

I believe that's why I was voted Kent's "Public Official of the Year" 3-years in a row and endorsed by leaders across the political spectrum. 

I'd be honored to receive your vote.
