• Community activist for over 15 years serving the greater Los Angeles County
• Assisted the community on regional and social issues

2. If it were entirely up to you and not the Legislature, what measures would you take to address Los Angeles County’s fiscal crisis? (No more than 150 words total for questions 2 and 3.)

To address L.A. County's fiscal crisis, I would first form a committee to evaluate all of Los Angeles County's current projects. I would evaluate each project to see where fiscal spending is in excess and curtail spending and/or postpone non-essential projects. I would prioritize each project based on need. My priorities would be based on the safety and health of the citizens and residents of Los Angeles County.

These priorities include:

• Fire & Police Department
• Hospitals & Public Transportation
• Recovery centers for the mentally ill and homeless
• Economic Development

Public safety comes first. I would utilize all our resources available from grant funding to fiscal accountability through audits.

3. What are the most important criteria for evaluating new development in the unincorporated areas of the county? (No more than 150 words total for questions 2 and 3.)

In encouraging new development we should adhere to land use policy and zoning ordinances. We should ensure that the community will benefit from the development. We should make use of any redevelopment funds, renewable resources including potable water sources.
