I support public and private partnerships whenever appropriate in order to achieve our goal of a prosperous and vibrant downtown.
I do not believe that defending traditional marriage between one man and one woman excludes anybody or usurps anybody's civil rights and denies anybody their civil rights.
Nothing is more devastating to a community than out-of-control crime.
There has been much talk referencing what I consider conceptual reports like the Landscape of Choice and documents created as a result of the Great Valley Center.
It cannot take decades to resurrect, we must act immediately with purpose and enthusiasm to rebuild.
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.
We must do more to protect our neighborhoods and give integrity to our community plans.
I will lobby tirelessly in cooperation with other mayors around the country to insure that federal funding for our recently added police officers continues.

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 work overtime to open the doors of opportunity to industry and commerce.
We want them to be productive in the community,
