On the Issues

  • Fire Preparedness and Protection

    Our Fire District must continue to protect the residents we serve by ensuring we have highly trained firefighting staff whom are well equipped and prepared to respond to all emergencies. We must continue to improve our ability to react to and contain wildland fires, maintain our local fire protection efforts and emergency medical services as well as our 9-1-1 response times.
  • Fire Prevention

    Fire prevention must continue to be a top priority. For everyone’s safety, it is imperative that we help our district residents prepare for fire season by assisting with debris clearance, chipper days, and other strategies that prevent fires.
  • Increase the diversity of our staff

    A career as a firefighter is a rewarding one that many in our community would enjoy. I am working with our labor unions, management and my fellow directors to find ways to improve the recruitment, training and hiring of more women and people of color.
  • Fiscal Responsibility

    I am committed to running an efficient agency that makes the highest use of our taxpayer resources. All our work must be fundable though a budget that prioritizes the safety of the residents and ensures high quality services for all.
