I have had the honor of serving on the council for the last three years. During this time, I have been privileged to contribute to many significant successes on the board. I am now seeking to extend my service for an additional two years to continue building on the achievements we have accomplished together. As an unincorporated area without a city council, police department, or mayor, my primary focus has been to ensure our residents are not overlooked in the third-largest county in California and the sixth-largest in the nation—larger than 19 states. I have served as the liaison to our Assemblywoman's office, State Senator's office, County Supervisor's office, and School Board Trustee office. It is crucial to me that our residents become acquainted with our elected officials and that these officials, in turn, become familiar with our community. During my tenure, I wrote a letter to the county and advocated in two public meetings for Ladera Ranch to have its own dedicated OCSD deputy. While this request has not yet been fulfilled, it has resulted in increased Sheriff's Department presence in Ladera Ranch. As recently reported in our July public meeting, Ladera Ranch now leads in sheriff's hours over our neighboring unincorporated communities. People should vote for me because I have a proven track record of dedication and effective service. My experience and established relationships with key governmental offices ensure that our community's needs are communicated and addressed. I am committed to fostering a strong, connected community where every resident feels heard and supported. Your vote will allow me to continue advocating for our unincorporated area's unique needs and working tirelessly to ensure our voices are not forgotten.
