Election time should be when trust becomes the cornerstone of democracy. Residents and small business owners place their hopes in candidates, expecting them to act in the best interests of Rancho Cucamonga. Yet, many feel disillusioned when politicians disappear after being elected, breaking their commitments and campaign promises. This betrayal erodes trust and leads to voter apathy, making people feel their participation is futile. Your vote counts and only your vote can put an end to this.

The right to vote is sacred and a solemn responsibility, with many having sacrificed to protect it. I’m here to end this cycle of futility at the local level. As a former elected official and community volunteer, earning my neighbors' trust has always been, and will continue to be, the cornerstone of my campaign and council service.

While past politicians' actions have made this challenging, I believe my years of service in various roles have earned me the respect and trust of friends, neighbors, and residents like you.

Your vote is a declaration of trust in me. In return, I pledge to honor it by being an approachable, trustworthy, proactive, and community-focused councilman.

Remember, your vote really does count!
