Objectives:

Return control of our beautifully eclectic community to our residents who are the only reason for Hermosa's existence.

Present city leadership, often abominably rude and insensitive, has led us perilously close to environmental, social and fiscal chaos with its primary focus on a plaza/parking lot serving few at the expense of many.

I love this city in all its parts, having learned long ago a decision made on behalf of one idea, element, project or group affects us all. To this end I propose to serve you.
