Candidate Statement in English

As a renter and resident of Santa Monica for nearly 15 years, I believe in making decisions grounded in data and analysis. Homelessness in Santa Monica is a chronic issue. We must finally come up with a plan that is humane and sustainable for all residents including those who live on our streets. With your help, we will keep Santa Monica among the best communities in which to live, work and raise families, and preserve our history as “California’s most celebrated beach city.” 

I pledge to meet Santa Monica’s most critical challenges: 

- Balance our budget by exercising prudent financial management

- Lead efforts to assist small businesses through the COVID crisis 

- Promote safety, especially along our beachfront and train platforms 

- Work with the community to create a safe, clean and beautiful Lincoln Blvd. 

- Advocate for a Master Plan guiding Santa Monica into the second half of the century 

- Maintain our city's public works; achieve water self-sufficiency by 2023 

- Manage smart, sustainable development in our city 

I look forward to serving you on the City Council.

Declaración del candidato en Español

Como inquilino y residente de Santa Monica durante casi 15 años, creo en la toma de decisiones basadas en datos y análisis. La falta de vivienda en Santa Monica es un problema crónico. Por último, debemos elaborar un plan que sea humano y sostenible para todos los residentes, incluidos los que viven en nuestras calles. Con su ayuda, mantendremos a Santa Monica entre las mejores comunidades en las que se pueda vivir, trabajar y criar familias y reservaremos nuestra historia como "la ciudad de playa más célebre de California". 

Me comprometo a cumplir con los desafíos más críticos de Santa Monica: 

- Equilibrar nuestro presupuesto ejerciendo una gestión financiera prudente 

- Liderar los esfuerzos para asistir a las pequeñas empresas a través de la crisis de COVID 

- Promover la seguridad, especialmente a lo largo de nuestras playas y plataformas de trenes 

- Trabajar con la comunidad para crear un Lincoln Blvd. seguro, limpio y hermoso 

- Abogar por un Plan Maestro que guíe a Santa Monica por la segunda mitad del siglo 

- Mantener las obras públicas de nuestra ciudad; lograr la autosuficiencia del agua para 2023 

- Gestionar el desarrollo inteligente y sostenible en nuestra ciudad 

Espero poder servirles en el Concejo Municipal.
