As a lifelong resident of Paramount, I’m proud to call this city home. I grew up here and attended Paramount public schools. Paramount helped shape who I am, and I’ve always believed in giving back to the community that gave me so much.
Over the years, I’ve volunteered with local organizations and supported nonprofits that serve Paramount residents. I’m running for Paramount City Council because I care deeply about where we’re headed as a city, and I’m ready to do the work to keep Paramount moving forward while honoring the leaders who helped build it.
Public Safety
Public safety will always come first. I want to ensure Paramount residents continue to receive high-quality first responder services by supporting the people who protect us every day. That means making sure our public safety partners, especially law enforcement, fire response, and emergency medical services, have the coordination, staffing support, and resources needed to respond quickly and effectively. It also means focusing on practical, prevention-based strategies that make a real difference: strong neighborhood partnerships, attention to high-need areas, and smart investments that reduce crime, improve traffic safety, and strengthen quality of life across Paramount.
Public Services
Residents deserve strong, reliable services from every agency that affects daily life in Paramount. I will work with city teams and the appropriate local, county, and regional partners to make sure our community gets the level of service we should expect, whether it’s street maintenance, public works support, water and environmental quality, animal services, or the day-to-day city services families rely on. When service levels fall short, the city should be proactive about identifying the issue, communicating clearly with residents, and pushing for timely solutions. City government should be responsive, coordinated, and focused on results that people can see in their neighborhoods.
Fiscal Responsibility
I will be diligent in protecting our residents’ tax dollars and supporting well-planned spending. That means setting clear priorities, expecting measurable results, and being transparent about where funds are going and why. I will support budgets and projects that are practical, cost-effective, and focused on core needs, public safety, infrastructure, and essential services. While also looking for opportunities to reduce waste and improve efficiency. Responsible spending isn’t about doing less; it’s about doing what works, planning ahead, and earning the community’s trust through steady, accountable leadership.
Supporting Seniors
Paramount should be a city where seniors feel supported, connected, and valued. I want to strengthen the facilities, programs, and services that help older adults stay healthy and independent, including improvements to senior programming and community spaces where residents can gather, stay active, and access resources. I also support investments in safe, accessible parks and public spaces that welcome seniors and families alike. By prioritizing comfort, accessibility, and meaningful programming, we can help seniors stay engaged and supported right here in Paramount.
Supporting At-Risk Youth
We need to support young people before challenges become crises, and that starts with making sure they have safe places to go and strong support systems around them. I will work with schools, nonprofits, city programs, and local service providers to expand practical, sustainable support for at-risk youth. That includes mentorship, recreation, academic support, job readiness, and prevention programs that build skills and stability. When we invest in youth early, we strengthen families, improve public safety over time, and create better long-term outcomes for the entire Paramount community.
My Commitment to Paramount
If you elect me to the City Council, my commitment is simple. I will work to make our neighborhoods and business districts safer, improve our streets and public facilities, and deliver city improvements that residents can see and feel in their daily lives.
Let’s Move Paramount Forward
I’m running to serve, to listen, and to get results. I would be honored to earn your support, and I hope you’ll be part of this effort with me. Together, we can build a safer, stronger, and more connected Paramount.
