Nothing is more devastating to a community than out-of-control crime.

Fresno is an All America city and deserves real, honest, strong leadership and I pledge to the people of Fresno to be that kind of leader.

I'll continue to work to ensure that safety and I am honored to have earned the endorsement of the men and women who provide public safety in our city.

High tech companies that focus on research, development and production will learn that they can be the perfect complement to our world-renowned agriculture heritage.

I support public and private partnerships whenever appropriate in order to achieve our goal of a prosperous and vibrant downtown.

You don't need a city charter to know that education is the foundation of any community.

All of the factors that make up a quality city - safe streets, high paying jobs, strong neighborhoods, etc. - emanate from a strong educational premise.
