My Experience and Specific Plans

Public Safety:
​
Most of my tenure as a police officer was spent patrolling the streets of Los Angeles, and I have seen firsthand what “soft on crime” does to a community. I will take tangible steps to protect you and your loved ones from those who choose to victimize others. As Mayor of Long Beach, part of my plan includes:
Adding lights in dimly lit portions of the city and increasing patrols in high-crime areas.
​
- Implementing community service requirements for low-level offenders to help clean and maintain our city.
Improving morale in the police department by increasing interaction and involvement with the community and providing strong support at the city level.
​
- Working with non-profits to provide job training to recently released offenders, with the goal of reducing recidivism and successfully reintegrating them into civil society.
​
- Bringing law enforcement policy classes to the public and exploring ways to introduce such curriculum at the high school level.
​
- Maintaining and supporting all public employees, especially those in public safety.
​
- Hiring armed security to assist LBPD with high-visibility patrols and crime prevention while we continue hiring the appropriate number of officers.
​
- Implementing a mandatory crime reporting policy that requires city employees to report crimes in progress to reduce response times.
Requesting immediate assistance from federal law enforcement to help break apart violent criminal gangs.
​
- Educating the public and strictly enforcing laws to stop street racing and takeovers, including heavy enforcement against e-bike takeovers.
​
Reducing Homelessness:
​
As a police officer, I have firsthand experience dealing with the many issues surrounding homelessness. I worked with non-profit and city organizations to develop and implement tangible solutions. We found temporary shelters and group homes and helped place many people into long-term affordable housing.
 
As your mayor, I will focus on achieving the following:
Continuing to provide resources, information, and housing for homeless residents.
​
- Giving partial control and ownership of public sidewalks to residents, building owners, and business owners to discourage encampments from occupying those spaces.
​
- Building shelters and temporary camps away from populated areas, while providing campers with rehabilitation, mental health, and housing services.
​
- Offering job training and ongoing job recruitment to help homeless residents get off the streets and into stable housing.
​
- Declaring a state of emergency and requesting assistance from county, state, and federal resources to help move homeless individuals off our streets. I will demand the creation of emergency housing and medical facilities to offer shelter to homeless persons.
​
- Enforcing existing laws to assist endangered homeless persons off the streets, with zero tolerance for those who choose to violate our laws after being offered shelter and services.
​
Creating Efficiency: 
​
As Long Beach Mayor, I will eliminate government waste and reduce taxes for residents and business owners by:
​
- Cutting unnecessary regulations affecting businesses and residents.
​
- Adjusting city regulations that have led to the closure of small and medium-sized local businesses.

- Researching the best ways to use vacant lots and unused land to reduce blight and benefit citizens.
​
- Prioritizing infrastructure projects to make much-needed repairs.
​
- Creating novel programs to bring in new revenue, such as infrastructure naming rights.
Cutting red tape and creating incentives to retain and attract businesses.
​
- Stopping all non-priority projects and eliminating non-essential bureaucrat jobs.
​
Infrastructure:
​
Government has few vital operations — public safety and infrastructure are among them. As your future Mayor, I will focus on:
​
- Fixing broken streets, sidewalks, and alleys.
​
- Seeking ways to end ocean dumping and clean our ocean water.
​
- Repairing our seawalls to reduce or stop flooding.
 
These priorities and plans reflect my commitment to practical, results-driven leadership.
 
Together, we can build a better Long Beach.
