OUR MISSION

ALWAYS PUTTING BURBANK FIRST

I absolutely love our city and I spent 32 years as a City employee listening, learning and acting in the best interest of our overall community. My experience as a City employee and my knowledge of the processes and issues facing our community will allow me to hit the ground running the first day on the job!

Burbank City Council member is and always has been a non-partisan position. I want Burbank to know that although I have been a registered Democrat since I was 18 years old, I will not be seeking any endorsements from any political party. Instead I pledge my allegiance and loyalty to Burbank and only to Burbank.! My agenda is simple: to selflessly work hard with each of you to

always put Burbank first!

I do not have a personal agenda, nor do I have any desire to run for higher office. I am running for Burbank City Council because I believe we need people in this leadership role who genuinely care about Burbank and who will have the knowledge and courage to find solutions and take the necessary actions that will ensure Burbank continues to be seen as one of the best cities in California.
