As Menifee’s Mayor, I will seek council consensus to implement policies that foster accountability, responsiveness and civility. We will try to ensure that the council is participatory, inclusive and fair in its proceedings.

For Jefferson, good government was one which “most effectively secures the rights of the people … which promotes their happiness, and also does their will.”

You may have heard the phrase “an officer and a gentleman.” It implies a level of character, honesty and integrity I will strive to bring to your city hall. I hope that it will always exemplify my public service to you. I’d be honored to have your vote for Mayor on Tuesday, November 6th.
