It cannot take decades to resurrect, we must act immediately with purpose and enthusiasm to rebuild.
We can no longer let the threat of an early frost send a chill of fear throughout a large portion of our workforce. Diversification is the only answer.
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.
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.

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.

The key to truly rebuilding our central city on a vital and sustainable foundation is people.
