My Platform for San Carlos

Town Hall Q&A

Read my answers to residents' questions on housing, taxes, public safety, downtown and more.

Fiscal Discipline for San Carlos

• No Tax Increases — Fund city priorities within existing revenue by cutting waste first.
• Zero-Based Budget Review — Apply enterprise cost-management discipline to every department and contract.
• Transparent Spending — Publish clear, plain-language budget reporting.
• Protect Core Services — Safeguard public safety, roads, and parks by eliminating inefficiency.

Getting Downtown Right

• Demand Accountability on Downtown Projects — Answer the open questions on Harrington Park costs before spending more.
• Protect Ground-Floor Businesses — Ensure retail and restaurant owners have a voice in Phase 1B.
• No Surprises for Business Owners — Provide real advance notice on construction impacts.

Growth That Pays for Itself

• Neighborhood Input First — Keep residents and neighboring property owners involved early.
• Support Well-Sited Affordable Housing — Back appropriately scaled, responsibly financed projects.

Fix Our Most Dangerous Intersection

A City Government That Delivers
