The fundamental priority for government is to protect its citizens. As Mayor in Hesperia, our City saw consistent decreases in violent crime. Unfortunately, due to misguided policies from Sacramento politicians like AB109, Prop 47 and Prop 57, our region is in trouble. Reducing punishments for violent offenders is not a step in the right direction – it’s the exact opposite. I am committed to fighting for policies that keep our community safe and support our law enforcement officers.
