Top Priorities if Elected |
- De-politicize the City Attorney's office and base all legal work on the law, not politics or personal agendas
- Stop wasting millions of dollars on political lawsuits and outside lawyers
- Evaluate cost/benfit/risk of all lawsuits at outset and set office priority to win lawsuits rather than make political statements.

- My Commitment to the People of San Diego
-
I have set out 10 commitments to the people of San Diego designed to bring integrity and professionalism to the city attorney's office.
- Criminal Coordination Plan
-
Judge Goldsmith and DA Dumanis have proposed a plan to improve coordination. The DA's office and City Attorney's office share criminal prosecution in the City, but the City Attorney refuses to coordinate. This needs to be corrected.
