It has been the profound honor of my life to serve as your City Councilmember. From the day I took my oath, I have worked with dedication and determination to move our city forward—guided always by a deep love for Victorville and its people.

Together, we’ve charted a bold and optimistic path for Victorville—first by creating and enacting our city’s Vision, Mission, Goals, and Strategic Plan in 2020, giving us a blueprint for progress. I’m proud to say that today, our city’s budget stands stronger than it has in 15 years, reflecting responsible governance and fiscal resilience.

Together, we celebrated significant milestones in economic and public safety growth. The Amazon Fulfillment Center near the SCLA site—expected to bring 1,000 new jobs—has stood as a symbol of our success in attracting major development. The construction of CarMax demonstrated continued momentum in establishing Victorville as a thriving center of opportunity. Through Measure P, which I championed, we exceeded early projections—bringing in vital resources that funded expanded law enforcement, proactive code enforcement, a new, modern-planned police station and civic plaza, and the opening of Fire Station 315 with enhanced medic and firefighting capabilities.

Together, we made groundbreaking strides in addressing homelessness. I led the charge to establish the Homelessness Solutions Task Force and its Strategic Action Plan—culminating in the opening of the Wellness Center in December 2023. This first-of-its-kind facility in San Bernardino County offers housing-first wraparound services for around 170 residents, including a medical clinic—thanks in part to the $28 million Homekey Grant we secured. Since its opening, Victorville’s unsheltered homeless population has dropped 57% compared to last year.

Together, we pushed for revitalization and opportunity in the heart of our city. As a member of the Community Revitalization Investment Authority (CRIA) Board, I helped reshape the Old Town Victorville area—expanding its scope to include affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, and economic development through innovative tax-increment financing.

For years, I’ve also represented Victorville on a range of regional boards and commissions—serving on the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority (VVWRA), and the Mojave Desert & Mountain Recycling Joint Powers Authority, as well as the League of California Cities Revenue and Taxation Committee, and as an alternate on the Victor Valley Transit Authority (VVTA). Through these roles, I have advocated for our city, secured funding, and strengthened our connections across the region.

Now, with heartfelt gratitude and purpose, I share that I will soon be moving beyond Victorville—leading me to make the deeply personal and difficult decision to resign from the City Council, effective October 21, 2025. While it is not easy to say farewell, I do so with complete confidence in the foundation we’ve built and the leaders and residents who will continue this vital work.

Serving as your City Councilmember has been one of the greatest honors of my life. Victorville will always be my home at heart. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together and confident the city will continue to thrive in the capable hands of its leadership and engaged residents.

Victorville has my deepest love and unwavering belief. Thank you for trusting me, for walking beside me, and for inviting me to serve. This community’s promise remains bright—one I’ll forever carry in my heart.
