1A. If elected, what will be your top
three priorities and why?
1. To bring in a Clean
and Safety Team.
They will clean up our
Corridors and Patrol our 6th District. They will clean up the business
corridors, making sure all the trash and dirt is pickup and power wash the
sidewalks and patrol our community. They will make sure that they are
coordinating with the Police Department in ongoing investigations and help to
deter crime.
2. Focus on bringing
more diverse businesses into our District.
By this will bring in
more jobs and a focal point to the community. We have empty storefronts that
need businesses so that we can thrive and make our district grow. Our small
businesses are the backbone of our city and to lose any more is to lose the
fabric of our dreams.
3. Work with several
non Profit organizations to acquire property to build a Dormitory setting for
the Homelessness.
It will have workshops
for skilled trades, educational programs & courses, counseling and so
forth. I used to be homeless and lived in my car and working full time. I have
seen individuals that need help by either mental health counseling,
detoxification, housing and job placement.
4. To make sure
Everyone is heard will create a Collation of Community Members, Community
Organizations and Small Business Owners.
Everyone has the right
for their voice to be heard and say what goes into the Community that we live
and work in.
5. To bring the
Minimum wage up to $15 and to stop with the taxes that have burden our
community. We have lost businesses, homeowners and renters. What I would like
to do is to create a grant for people that are in hardships. The grant would be
from $500 to $1,000 and applicants must provide evidence of hardship.
6. To be transparent.
I work for the Residents of 6th District. I will not be taking the Salary that
comes with the district seat but putting it back into the 6th District
Community. Bring in more Festivals, Concerts to our Parks, create green spaces
for us, for our children and pets.
I would like to bring
in more programs for our children to learn about. Like Coding, how to create a
game, how to create a Security code and see how it operates. How to create
music, art, to learn and
1A: What are your pro-business priorities?
Being a small business owner I have
seen what it takes to keep your business thriving. Right now I am searching for
an adequate storefront but have released that E-Commerce is the leading factor
for businesses. Having an E-Commerce site in today’s age of technology is vital
and I want to make sure all the businesses in our District has a site. I want
to partner with them to help create their site, make sure they are getting the
best traffic flow and to see them grow. I am creating a Small Business Long
Beach Initiative that will help them with everyday challenges in businesses.
For example there is payroll apps that you can download that can track your
employees hours, mileage, so that you can keep a more efficient records, help
create an app of their business to share on google play or apple.
