- Empowering Residents to Participate in City Council Meetings: Diversity and Inclusion
 - 
Working together can assure that all parts of our city receive necessary services and growth opportunities.
 - "Expanding Public Safety Policies" to address issues of crime prevention, environmental safety, and disability access
 - 
Public safety dialogues must include more than crime statistics. While it is most important that crime remains at an all time low, we must identify and  address other safety issues.
 - "Business Growth" - Business-friendly policies/procedures, more jobs, more business revenue to city.
 - 
The visible blight of empty commercial spaces in Bellflower has led to a perception that the city does not want business here. In reality we need businesses here!
