TOP OF THE AGENDA

As your Councilmember, I will work hard to support public policies, programs and services that promote or enhance the following areas:

ECONOMIC GROWTH

Ongoing budget concerns and the recurring need to increase city revenues top my priority for the next term. I believe these issues can be addressed through sustained fiscal growth. Economic prosperity yields additional revenues for the city, creates employment opportunities for our residents, and generates a sense of vitality citywide.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Long term solutions must be sought to address the problem of increasing crimes in our neighborhoods. We must bolster our alliances with law enforcement agencies, elected officials and community leaders from adjacent cities and districts to maximize our effectiveness.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Residents, businesses, the school district and city personnel must join together to plan and prepare for the unknown. Let us learn from the horrific experiences of other unfortunate areas and vow not to repeat them in Union City.

QUALITY TO LIFE

Health is wealth. I will continue to support more leisure, recreational and athletic opportunities for all segments in the community.

CULTURE AND ARTS

In a diverse community like Union City, the promonition of the arts and the cultivation of our multi-cultural environment is a necessary social development. I will continue to endorse events and projects, like the Friends of Sister Cities, Asian-American Festival and Arts Festival that encourage positive melding in our community.
