As Mayor of Santa Barbara

​

I WILL prioritize the safety and well-being of our neighborhoods by advocating for strong, consistent law enforcement, community-based prevention strategies, and policies that uphold accountability and respect for the rule of law.

​

I WILL support our police officers with the tools, training, and staffing they need to respond effectively, while also encouraging local engagement to build trust between residents and first responders.

​

I BELIEVE in common-sense public safety measures — including addressing homelessness with compassion and enforcement, cracking down on drug trafficking and property crime, and ensuring our parks, schools, and streets are secure for families, seniors, and children.

​

"Safety is not just the absence of crime —

It’s the presence of order, support, and vigilance". 

I will work to restore that standard for Santa Barbara.
