COUNTDOWN TO ELECTION DAY - MARCH 4TH, 8:00PM

Thank you, Cerritos, for electing me in 2011 and 2015. I proudly served twice as your Mayor in 2014-2015 and 2018-2019. I am grateful for new opportunities to serve my hometown of 52 years and respectfully ask for your vote. 

My wife, Gloria, and I grew up in Cerritos and graduated from ABC Unified schools. After I attended UCLA and the University of Chicago (Master of Public Policy), we raised our family here — one of the safest, prosperous and dynamic communities in America. 

Professionally, I worked nearly three decades in local, state and federal government, as Assembly Consultant, Senate Director, and District Chief of Staff to Congressman Alan Lowenthal (Ret.). 

As your experienced Councilmember (2011-2020), I worked to solve problems with compassion and common sense. I delivered on these priorities and will continue to work on: 

Public Safety: Reduced residential burglaries; maintained lowest emergency response time in Los Angeles County; 

Neighborhood Improvement: Repaired streets and sidewalks; renovated park playgrounds, equipment, and courts; replaced and trimmed thousands of trees; 

Economic Growth: Approved Cerritos Auto Square renovations and new business developments: 85°C Bakery, In-N-Out, Nordstrom Rack, Harkins Theaters, Cheesecake Factory, Zara, and more. 

Quality of Life: Opened Library Teen Studio, Kaiser Medical Building, and approved new residential developments. 

Together, let’s move Cerritos forward!
