Goals for West Hills:
I love West Hills. It has been my honor to represent the best interests of the West Hills community. I am working to clean-up the contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory site, creating a West Hills Cultural, Community & Senior Center, making sure our streets are properly repaired and maintained, developing a West Hills Emergency Preparedness program, and making sure that proposed developments in West Hills are appropriate for our community.
It is my goal to continue to serve the community of West Hills to make it as vibrant, attractive, safe and enjoyable as possible for those who live, work, shop, attend school and pray here. To this end, I have established excellent working relationships with many City and State government officials who I work closely with.
I welcome your thoughts, concerns and ideas for a better West Hills. Please feel free to contact me at
