I am very proud to have been able to serve this City as its Acting Mayor from November 2010 to March 2011 during turbulent times in which our Mayor had resigned and a special election was held to serve out the Mayor’s term. I feel this experience was invaluable in carrying out my duties as your City Councilmember.
I will continue to bring to the table my strong financial background ensuring as the City moves forward and we deliver our services in the most cost effective manner possible.
I have been a part of Goodyear’s growth for more than twenty years and I am proud of the many positive milestones that have occurred during that time.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.
My comprehensive knowledge of local government financing and knowledge of the various governmental funding sources affords me the opportunity to address both opportunities and challenges going forward.
I will continue to work diligently and am committed to meet all current and future needs of our City.
I am very proud of the City’s past accomplishments and I would like to continue my community service as a member of the City Council, maintaining Goodyear as a premier community to work, play and to raise your family.

In a growing City such as Goodyear, there is always room for improvement; however Goodyear is steadily moving forward and headed in the right direction. As a City Council Member, I believe it is important to take challenging issues head on and point to results over the past term: The City has implemented very conservative fiscal policies and has set aside moneys for future principal debt payments and funded a capital equipment replacement fund. The City surveys our citizens to ensure we are provided services desired and strive to deliver services provided at the highest level. Working to improve the quality of life for our residents.
- At the start of my first term Goodyear was experiencing a significant structural deficit in its general fund, stresses on its service delivery model and declining revenue. The City of Goodyear addressed the recession early on and because of its efforts finds itself in good financial condition to meet future service demands. In addition, the City’s bi-annual customer service survey revealed that residents overall were very satisfied with the City’s level of service.
The past several years have not always been a smooth road seeing the city facing significant challenges. I will always remain committed to addressing any and all challenges Goodyear faces. My focus continues to be working to resolve any and all challenges or issues which is in the best overall long-term interests of Goodyear and its residents.
I have listed below a review which I feel summarizes accomplishments during my time in office. If elected, I will continue to build on the successes of the past. We are working hard to ensure the needs of our community are met during the Covid-19 pandemic and post Covid-19 recovery. With the support of an excellent staff, we have been able to maintain a high level of service to the community
A few examples of the City's Efforts to grow business opportunities and several thousands of jobs within the City:
- Amazon Robotic Facility
- Andersen Window Manufacturer
- UPS Logistics
- MLily - Mattress Manufacturer
- Fairlife – Milk Manufacturer
- Amazon by the end of 2021 will be Goodyear’s largest employer will over 3,000 jobs.
Speculative Development is very strong within the City of Goodyear.
Examples of new retail and entertainment that is either under construction or opened with past few years are: - Babbo Italian Eatery
- Five Below
- Culvers
- Sonic Drive-In
- SpringHill Suites
- Tru by Hilton
- Hubbard Family Swim School
- Crazy Mikes Wings
- The City’s Recreational Facility is now open
- Civic Square is in process and will be coming soon to the public.
The goal is to make Goodyear the jewel of the South West a great place to work, live and play.
