PUBLIC SAFETY
Safe and secure neighborhoods for the citizens of Antioch.
TOUGH ORDINANCES FOR BLIGHT
I am privileged to live in Antioch and take pride in my home. Those who do not hold the same city pride should pay the consequences for blight and neglect of property.
FISCAL STABILITY and PRO-BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Execute a budget that does not exceed our resources and build a welcoming attitude to attract, retain and grow businesses.
