Folsom City Council - District 5
PRIORITIES
Every decision I make on the Folsom City Council comes back to one question: does this respect the people who live here and what it costs them to do so?
Folsom residents didn’t move here to be nickeled and dimed. They moved here for safety, quality of life, and a community worth investing in. My job is to protect that.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Safe neighborhoods aren’t a luxury. They’re the foundation everything else is built on and the reason most people chose Folsom in the first place.
My priority going forward is ensuring our Police and Fire Departments remain properly staffed, well led, and focused on the issues residents are actually experiencing. That means continuing to support the Homeless Outreach Team, maintaining strong emergency response, and staying ahead of emerging issues before they become crises.
Public safety has to be funded sustainably. Not through last minute scrambles or cuts that quietly erode service. Through honest budgeting and clear priorities that put community safety first every single time.
FISCAL STEWARDSHIP
Folsom residents have been clear. They want a city that lives within its means, spend money wisely, and doesn’t treat their wallets as a backup plan when things get tight.
I hear that. I’ve been fighting for exactly that since 2022.
The progress we’ve made on budget discipline and financial transparency is real. But the work isn’t finished. Folsom still has infrastructure needs and long-term financial commitments that require honest planning and difficult conversations.
Before we ask residents for more, we owe it to them to prove we’ve done everything possible with what we have. That’s the standard I hold myself to and the standard I’ll continue to hold this city to.
QUALITY OF LIFE & INFRASTRUCTURE
Folsom’s quality of life is what people paid for when they chose to live here. Protecting it isn’t optional and it isn’t cheap. But it doesn’t have to mean constantly asking for more.
My priority is maintaining and improving what we already have before adding what we don’t need. That means fighting for parks and trail maintenance, pushing for transportation improvements that address real congestion, and making sure development decisions protect neighborhood character rather than erode it.
Residents shouldn’t have to choose between growth and quality of life. Smart, accountable leadership means managing both. That’s what I’m focused on.
These priorities aren’t complicated. They’re what honest leadership looks like when you actually respect the people you serve.
Folsom is worth protecting. I intend to keep doing exactly that.
