Reinvesting in our Community

Engaging and Listening

Planning for the Future

We live in a time when trust in government and our institutions is at an all time low. I can't solve that. But I can promise that I will always be honest and above board with you. I want to earn your vote, and I want you to feel that I represent your values and vision for the future. If elected, you will always know where I stand on an issue and I will uphold the highest standards of integrity.

I can do this job. I have spent most of the last 7 years working as a project manager in the Healthcare Construction field, ensuring that hospitals and clinics are built safely. I have served as the Vice President of a non-profit board. I want to take that experience and put it to use for this community with a seat on the Monterey Peninsula Airport District Board, ensuring that we build our new terminal safely and with as little disruption as possible.

Congressman Panetta has secured $22 million in federal funds for our new airport terminal. That money is reinvested in our community when we hire local tradesmen and women to do the work of building our airport. I will work to ensure the general contractor prioritizes local workers, especially union workers. These jobs will help hard-working families to put food on the table, send kids to school, and pay the rent.

A Monterey Civil Grand Jury recently recommended that our Airport Board establish a more proactive community outreach program. I previously served as the Senior District Representative for a member of Congress and that experience taught me that effective representation starts with listening. I will be in the community, not just sharing updates, but listening to you and your hopes for the future of our airport.

Climate change is a pressing issue, and aviation contributes to global CO2 emissions. I want our community to be a part of helping to define the future of air travel, and that means engaging with partners in the industry that are working towards more sustainable solutions including research into sustainable aviation fuels and new aircraft and engine technologies.
