pillars of my campaign
Stronger together
Better Chula Vista
I was born in Los Angeles and have lived in San Diego County for 27 years. I am proud and grateful to live in California — a state built by people from every background, culture, faith, and walk of life.
Chula Vista is one of the best examples of that promise. We are European, Hispanic, Filipino, African American, Asian, Jewish, Muslim, Christian, gay, straight, and everything in between. But before any label, we are people and more importantly we are neighbors.
I believe it is time to move away from constantly dividing people into groups. Our city works best when we see each other as people first — families, workers, business owners, students, seniors, veterans, parents, and neighbors who all want a safe, affordable, and thriving community.
I am proud of my Hispanic heritage, and I will always have an affinity for the Hispanic community. Everybody has a right be their real self and love their people. But public service must be for everyone. No one should be favored or mistreated because of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
The recent lawsuit brought by former Chula Vista Police Chief Roxana Kennedy raise serious concerns about whether city leadership treated her fairly. The city has denied wrongdoing, and the matter is now in litigation. But I want to be clear: racial discrimination is wrong in any direction, against any person, for any reason.
We should support competent law enforcement leadership and keep politics out of the police department. Acting Police Chief Dan Peak has been overseeing the department during Chief Kennedy’s leave, and my personal impression of him has been positive. The officers support him. Chula Vista deserves police leadership that is professional, respected, and focused on public safety. City politics should not enter the equation.
We also need to move away from cancel culture and take a break from the culture wars to reach out to the other side and resolve our differences as neighbors in Chula Vista rather than demonizing people who don't agree with us.
My campaign is about bringing people together — not dividing them. I want a city government that respects every resident, supports law enforcement, protects taxpayers, and treats people fairly.
Chula Vista’s diversity is not a weakness. It is one of our greatest strengths.
