VISION
A CITY THAT GROWS TOGETHER
Why I'm Running
Montebello gave me my education, my mentors, my first opportunities to serve, and a community that believed in me long before I believed in myself.
Today, I own a home here. I own a small business here. My family is here. And like so many residents, I hope to raise a family of my own here one day, in the same community that shaped me.
I’m running because I believe every generation deserves the same opportunity to build a life in the city we love. That means keeping Montebello a place where families can put down roots, where young people can return after college, and where growing older doesn’t mean being priced out of the neighborhood you helped build.
Our community is growing and changing. As new development arrives and new opportunities emerge, we have a responsibility to ensure Montebello grows with its residents, not around them.
I believe local government should be visible, accountable, and present in every neighborhood.
That’s the leadership I’ll bring to City Hall.
My Priorities
Protect Montebello's Neighborhoods While Planning for Growth
Growth should strengthen our community—not replace it. I'll advocate for thoughtful, community-centered development that reflects residents' voices, protects neighborhood character, and creates opportunities that benefit the people who already call Montebello home.
Support Seniors and Caregivers
Every family deserves dignity as loved ones age. I'll work to establish a Montebello Senior and Aging Commission so seniors, caregivers, and aging families finally have a dedicated voice in City Hall and access to the resources they deserve.
Champion Small Businesses and Working Families
As a small business owner myself, I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face. I'll support local businesses, advocate for our renters and working families, and help create an economy where people can continue building their future in Montebello.
Make City Hall More Accessible
Representation doesn't happen only around elections and does not stop after Election Day. I'll hold regular District 5 office hours, communicate openly with residents, and ensure every constituent knows they have a councilmember who listens, responds, and shows up.
Invest in the Next Generation
Our schools, youth organizations, and community programs helped shape my life. I’ll continue partnering with Montebello Unified, local nonprofits, and youth organizations to expand opportunities for young people and ensure the next generation has every chance to succeed.
I also know that Montebello does its best work when it doesn’t work alone. I’ll build strong partnerships with our County Supervisor, our state legislators including Senator Bob Archuleta and Assemblymember Mark González, our federal representatives, and neighboring electeds to bring resources, funding, and opportunity home to Montebello. Our residents deserve leaders who can open doors at every level of government and deliver real results for our community. Montebello has been part of every chapter of my life.
I know its strengths, I understand its challenges.
And I believe our best days are still ahead.
Together, we can build a Montebello that honors its history, invests in its people, and creates opportunities for generations to come.
I'm ready to serve District 5 and Montebello
