My priorities are improving public safety, fixing and maintaining our streets and infrastructure, revitalizing parks and creating paths to good-paying jobs. Palmdale is built on hard-working families, dedicated teachers, local businesses, and neighbors who care about their communities. I will work with residents, public safety professionals, educators and local organizations that make a real difference in our daily lives. I will advocate for safer streets, better lighting, improved sidewalks, and well-maintained public facilities. I also believe our parks and community spaces should be clean, safe, and inviting places where children can play, families can gather and neighbors connect, support local business and help strength our local economy. Most importantly, I believe good leadership start with listening making myself accessible, transparent and accountable by always putting the needs of our community first. Together we can build a safer, stronger and more vibrant Palmdale where every family has the opportunity to thrive.</p><p dir=\"auto\"></p>","editTs":"2026-09-29T20:21:36.124515","language":"EN","status":4,"contestId":10496,"electionId":4348,"candidateId":26613,"publishedBy":69,"statementId":60997,"createdBy":69,"lastChangeBy":69,"publicCandidate":null}]
