This information is provided by the candidate
Implement a "Stranger Danger" Awareness Program (SDA). This program will raise awareness throughout our community so our children will be protected becoming victims of registered sex offenders and child molesters who live close to schools, day care centers, or parks. Continue leading initiatives on social policies designated to prevent sexual abuse by restricting where convicted sex offenders can live, often called sex offender zoning laws, or exclusionary zones. I will continue to work with law enforcement and implement Public Safety, start a Citizens Patrol Unit (employed by the city), and lead the initiatives for satellite Police Stations in Bell Gardens. I welcome new challenges and will take on the challenge of putting Bell Gardens on the map as one of the safest cities in Los Angeles County within 2 years in office;

Create and implement a 1200 hour job program, this will give our residents an opportunity to work for their local government and bring financial stability to their life all while creating and implementing a youth council to better prepare our youth as future leaders and ensure their voice is heard by giving them the power back, while creating and implementing a caring community as our next generation, so they will experience the freedoms that go hand-in-hand with responsibility;

Create a more business friendly community and assist new and small businesses to they can be financially stable to employ our residents and youth. Will create and enforce a Business Community Watch, will raise no new taxes. Will ensure that all city programs are free to our community all while serving as the people's representative for the continual improvement of the quality of life and the economic well-being of the citizens of this great city. Will restore and preserve our historical sites and promote and bring about tourism.
