One of my top priorities as your Councilmember is making sure you feel heard and connected. That’s why I’m launching regular community meetings — but before I finalize the schedule, I want your input. District 1 has a long-standing tradition of holding community meetings on the second Saturday of each month. That’s a great option……
Smarter Tools, Better Service: Bringing Redondo Beach into the Digital Age One of the biggest opportunities we have as a city is to make everyday interactions with City Hall easier, faster, and more transparent. Whether you’re applying for a permit, reporting a streetlight outage, or trying to open a new business, the process should be…
Strong Businesses Build Strong Communities Redondo Beach is full of potential — and that includes our local businesses. As both a longtime business owner and a City Councilmember, I see the opportunities we have to revitalize commercial areas, support entrepreneurs, and bring more life (and tax revenue) into our community. That starts with streamlining the…
Let’s Build a Redondo Beach That Works for Everyone Infrastructure may not be flashy, but it’s what makes a city function — and right now, Redondo Beach has serious work to do. Our roads, sewers, and public buildings are aging. Playgrounds need updates. Parkway trees are missing. And too often, long-term maintenance gets postponed for…

If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed to the voters’ next…
Redondo Beach’s revenue growth has not kept pace with inflation—sales tax revenue has increased only 6% over the past decade, while inflation has risen by 30%. Additionally, the number of business licenses has remained stagnant for five years. To secure our city’s future, we must attract the right businesses to fill vacant storefronts along PCH…
The City of Redondo Beach’s Charter Review Advisory Committee has made the recommendation to turn the elected City Attorney position into one appointed by the City Council and Mayor. I think this is a bad idea. So have the residents of Redondo Beach in the past when this has come up. Five times. Here are…
California’s Proposition 13 California School and College Facilities Bond sounds good on the surface, but has some major issues that cause concern for a large number of school districts. When I make decisions as a member of the school board, I base my choices on what is best for the kids. When I look at…
I don’t normally get long winded on political issues, and rarely find a school bond I don’t support. Until now. Proposition 13 is poorly written and will have severe negative consequences for RBUSD and districts like ours across the state. I’m sure the very large districts will do just fine with this proposition. Those with…
