  • Voted to Protect and Preserve Our Hillside and City: served as deciding vote to protect our hillsides.  Also served as deciding vote on passing EMERGENCY-only layer of protection of water services to our City.  I am working with my colleagues to protect and preserve our downtown and its charm with stricter regulations and zoning ordinances.
  • Emergency Medical Services (EMS): provided leadership to pass a measure to expand EMS to include paramedic services.
  • Increased Revenue for Sierra Madre: traveled to Sacramento on behalf of Sierra Madre to lobby our state governments that resulted in $500,000 owed to our city and $400,000 for street improvements.
  • Increased Transparency in Our City Government: pushed for first city audit in almost 3 years and supported creation of a monthly treasurer's report
