Candidate for
Councilmember; City of Westlake Village

For 30 years I have owned a home and a medical practice in Westlake Village. My children, ages 14 and 18, have attended White Oak Elementary, Lindero Canyon Middle School and Agoura High School. My family has benefitted from living in this wonderful city and it is time to give back to my community.

If elected to the city council, I would promote the building of a community center, a gathering place for concerts, activities, and events of community interest. I'd advocate better access to technology in our schools, better cell phone reception, and improved lighting of streets.

I would foster a community wellness initiative that would include an increase in walking, hiking and biking trails, activities that encourage healthy living, a return of the Farmer's Market, and improved emergency medical response services. I believe residents of all ages would benefit from park improvements, the acquisition of open space, and more access to recreational programs.

Since community programs are funded by our local businesses which provide our strong economic base, I would encourage cooperation with the business sector by continuing to be a business friendly city, but maintain community input.
