In spite of challenges that we were faced with upon incorporation, Temecula is thriving. It's clean and prosperous with one of the lowest crime rates in the state. We're saving lives by having cut paramedic response times in half. Our local job base is increasing and the number of commuters is decreasing. We are forcing developers to build roads before houses, and traffic problems caused by growth outside our borders are being handled aggressively.

Success doesn't happen by accident. Critical issues like electricity, transportation, and responsible growth cannot be dealt with effectively without proven experience and strong leadership. My years of service to Temecula and involvement on regional, statewide, and federal committees gives me those attributes.
