A citywide push to help residents better understand and use their local government. This campaign aims to equip citizens with the knowledge and tools to navigate City Hall, understand budgets, and get real issues solved. Through easy-to-digest videos, guides, email content, and community events, the initiative targets not just District 1, but the entire City of Orange.

Orange is facing tightening revenues and rising service costs, making budget transparency and community involvement essential. Instead of focusing on blame, the priority is stabilizing finances while protecting critical services, then later reviewing how the city got into its current position. The plan calls for plain-language, visual budget presentations, interactive dashboards, and cost-neutral strategies like digital outreach, renegotiating underused contracts, leveraging local expertise, and encouraging staff-driven savings ideas. The message emphasizes that the budget affects everyone, and solutions must be built collaboratively to create a stronger, more resilient city.

When I decided to run for office in District 1, I did so with one goal in mind: to serve the people and all people of this district. That means listening, showing up, and making sure every corner of our city gets the attention and investment it deserves.

This proposal outlines a citywide plan to modernize operations in the City of Orange through the strategic integration of artificial intelligence across all departments.

As Orange faces tough financial headwinds, it's time to rethink old dynamics and tap into untapped assets—starting with Chapman University. By partnering with Chapman’s private sector resources and connections to help reimagine underutilized city properties, the City can reduce costs, build smarter, and strengthen a relationship that’s long overdue for a reset.

My proposal to revitalize the Mills Act in Orange centers on reopening the program with stronger accountability tools—such as an online compliance portal where property owners can upload receipts and photos of qualified exterior work—to ensure follow-through on historic preservation commitments.
