Keep Chandler among the Valley’s safest cities with fully staffed police and fire, competitive pay, and evidence-based training.

Keeping Chandler safe means investing in smart, modern tools that help our police and first responders stay ahead of threats. I support expanding a high-quality camera network—strategically placed in key areas like our downtown district—that integrates with existing buildings and city infrastructure. With real-time situational awareness fed directly to our police station, officers can respond faster, document incidents accurately, and deter crime before it escalates. This is about responsible, standards-based technology that strengthens safety while protecting our quality of life.

Chandler deserves a city government that treats every tax dollar with respect. I am committed to responsible budgeting, limiting unnecessary spending, and focusing resources where they truly matter—public safety, infrastructure, and the long-term health of our community. Fiscal responsibility also means full transparency, giving residents clear insight into how money is allocated and ensuring every project is accountable. Smart growth, honest budgeting, and clear reporting will guide every decision I make on the council.

Chandler’s growth must be guided—not left to chance. As our city expands, we need smart planning that protects our existing neighborhoods while ensuring new development fits our long-term vision. That includes working cooperatively with Maricopa County on county islands, aligning infrastructure, public safety coverage, and long-term land use so Chandler residents aren’t burdened by gaps or inconsistencies. Strong neighborhoods depend on reliable streets, safe communities, and development that pays its own way. Managed growth means building responsibly, preserving our character, and making sure every part of Chandler can thrive—now and for the future.

Chandler’s future depends on a secure, reliable water supply—and that requires leadership, planning, and accountability. Recent concerns involving the Roosevelt Water Conservation District (RWCD) have shown how quickly confusion or miscommunication can disrupt residents and businesses. As a councilmember, I will push for clearer coordination between the City, RWCD, and regional partners to ensure Chandler’s water deliveries are stable, transparent, and protected from administrative or operational breakdowns. I support long-term water planning, investment in resilient infrastructure, and smart conservation practices that safeguard our community without burdening families. Water security isn’t optional—it’s foundational to Chandler’s growth, economy, and quality of life.

Chandler thrives when local businesses can grow without unnecessary obstacles. I support streamlining permitting, reducing red tape, and improving coordination between city departments so entrepreneurs, contractors, and small businesses can move forward with clarity and confidence. By cutting friction in the process—while still upholding high standards—we can attract new investment, support local jobs, and keep Chandler competitive. A business-friendly city is a thriving city, and I’ll work to make every interaction with Chandler simpler, faster, and more predictable.

Chandler has grown rapidly, and with that growth we needed consistent, hands-on leadership to keep our policies strong and our departments aligned. Instead, we’ve seen years where critical issues were overlooked, resulting in lawsuits, costly settlements, and a lack of clear direction. These kinds of problems don’t appear on their own—they happen when the top of the organization isn’t fully engaged or holding the line on standards. I’m not running to point fingers, but I am running because Chandler can’t afford that kind of disengaged leadership again. As your council member, I will insist on accountability, real oversight, and a culture where problems are confronted early—not allowed to snowball into expensive mistakes. Chandler deserves leadership that’s present, proactive, and fully committed to the job.

Chandler deserves leaders who uphold the highest standards—on and off the council chambers. Ethics isn’t optional; it’s the foundation of public trust. I believe every elected and appointed official must adhere to clear codes of conduct, avoid even the appearance of impropriety, and maintain full transparency in their decisions and relationships. Our residents should never have to question whether personal agendas or backroom dealings influence city business. As your councilmember, I will champion stronger ethical guidelines, open communication, and a culture where integrity is the baseline—not the exception.

Chandler should never be a city where our own teachers, police officers, firefighters, and city employees are priced out of the community they serve. As housing costs rise, we must take proactive steps to support the people who keep Chandler safe, educated, and thriving. I support creating a city-sponsored workforce housing program—identifying strategic locations where teachers and first responders can access reduced-rent, high-quality housing. By partnering with reputable developers, we can build units that fit our neighborhoods, strengthen our workforce, and keep these essential professionals rooted in Chandler. Investing in those who serve us isn’t just good policy—it’s the foundation of a strong, stable community.

Chandler should remain a city where hardworking families can build a future—not a place where rising costs push people out. As our population grows, we must ensure that housing options stay within reach for young families, seniors on fixed incomes, and residents who want to stay in the community they love. I support a balanced, responsible approach to affordable housing that encourages quality development, protects neighborhood character, and ensures growth pays its share for infrastructure. By partnering with reputable builders and using smart planning, we can expand affordable options without sacrificing standards. Every Chandler resident deserves the opportunity to live, work, and thrive in our city.
