Housing We Can Actually Call Home
Keep Rancho Affordable. Renting or buying shouldn’t be a luxury. We need to stop the “Squeeze.”
- Landlord Accountability: No more “ghost” owners. I will push for policies that disincentivize absentee landlords and reward local housing providers who invest in our neighborhoods.
- Balance for All: We will protect both renters and property owners by ensuring fair rental rates and livable, safe standards for every unit in District 2.
Dignity Over Displacement
Real Solutions for the Unhoused. Pushing people from one street corner to another isn’t a strategy—it’s a cycle.
- Pathways to Success: I advocate for a “Treatment First” model that steers the unhoused toward long-term housing and mental health services. Let’s solve the problem at its root, not just hide it.
Your Taxes, Your Refund
Putting Cash Back in Your Pocket. Inflation is hitting our low-income families and seniors the hardest.
- Sales Tax Rebates: I am proposing a local rebate program to refund a portion of city sales tax back to our low-income residents and local consumers. If the city is thriving, you should be too.
The “Dova” Dividend
The Downtown Dova project is a once-in-a-generation investment for Rancho Cordova.
- As your City Council representative, I will fight to ensure it creates local jobs and infrastructure that benefits current residents—not just out-of-town developers.
- I am committed to securing Labor and Community Benefit Agreements so that the wealth generated by Dova stays in Rancho neighborhoods.
The Immanent Tax Boost
The 25-Year Boost: We have an imminent surge in property tax revenue as our 2003 county tax sharing agreement ends. I want to lock that money into Community Investment Projects:
- At-Risk Youth: Safe spaces and early intervention programs to keep our kids on the right track.
- Senior Support: Direct funding for food security, housing assistance, and community hubs for our elders.
A City That Serves Its Residents
Stop Outsourcing Our Safety and Services. Why pay a middleman for our city’s future?
- Bring it In-House: By contracting less to outside entities and building our own internal departments, we get more accountability, better response times, and a city government that answers to you, not a corporate board.
Fiscal Sanity: No more blank checks for stadium subsidies or niche projects. It’s time to stop the “out of control” spending and refocus on the basics: roads, safety, and neighbors.
