As a County Supervisor, I’m proud of the steps we’ve taken to strengthen Ventura County’s economy and ensure long-term vitality for our communities. We’ve advanced key components of the Economic Vitality Strategic Plan—focusing on workforce readiness, infrastructure investment, industry growth, and housing development. In June 2024, we initiated important amendments to the Economic Vitality Element of the Ventura County General Plan. These updates are designed to promote a resilient economy that secures sustainable funding for essential public services, supports a vibrant and competitive business environment, and fosters job creation, retention, and long-term economic stability.

Tackling homelessness is one of the most urgent and important priorities of my time in office. Ventura County has taken a comprehensive and coordinated approach to this challenge—focusing on prevention, housing, support services, and long-term stability. I’m proud to support and help advance our county’s homelessness plan, which brings together public agencies, nonprofits, and local leaders to create real, lasting change for individuals and families in need.

Public safety is fundamental to Ventura County’s quality of life. Our first responders continue to lead with unwavering dedication—fighting street crime, enhancing disaster preparedness, protecting critical infrastructure, and forming innovative partnerships to safeguard our residents.

Ventura County’s public safety efforts span a broad range of services, including emergency response, disaster readiness, crime prevention, infrastructure safety, and environmental health. I remain fully committed to supporting and expanding public safety efforts to ensure every resident feels safe, protected, and supported—today and into the future.

Mental health is public health—and addressing it with urgency, compassion, and coordination is a top priority during my time in office. Across Ventura County, the need for mental health and substance use services continues to grow, impacting individuals and families across every community. That’s why I am committed to ensuring sustained investment in comprehensive, life-saving care that promotes healing, stability, and long-term resilience.

Ventura County Behavioral Health has played a vital role in improving community well-being by expanding crisis intervention services, increasing access to care, and fostering partnerships that reach people where they are. As a Board member of the Behavioral Health Advisory Board, I help represent the Board of Supervisors in ensuring these efforts are supported, evaluated, and expanded.
