As a resident with roots in our city, I want to bring the community together in a positive way by leading with participatory democracy.  Your voice should count. I am running because I care deeply about our city and want to represent you. Nationally recognized for my business ethics, I will bring Transparency, Accountability and Oversight into City Hall.

I am the only candidate with real financial skills (JPMorgan Chase). I have over 25 years of business and management experience which has included complex acquisitions, tough negotiations, and managing budgets.  I am an innovator in global internet business promotion. Sony, HBO, Showtime, Hearst Entertainment/KingFeatures are some of my former clients. I will be a strong addition to the council and a dedicated advocate for the community. New voices are critical to the mix. 

Important issues include:

• Implementing/supporting advanced technologies for citywide safety and security.
• Expanded marketing and promotion of our commerce and tourism.
• Continuing JPA funding for our schools.
• Protecting our general fund and eliminating inconsequential expenditures.
• Further advancing Beverly Hills into one of the "greenest cities in the country."
• Insuring that future development projects will be approved with the needs of the community first and foremost.

I respectfully ask, and would be honored to have YOUR vote.  In return, I will protect, preserve and innovate for this city with political courage and chutzpah.
