Improving Student Outcomes

I firmly believe in the potential of ALL our students. 
 

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-PromiseYouth

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-promise 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.
