Solutions Driven

---

Affordable housing is a critical issue in Salinas. Ensuring that all residents have access to safe and affordable housing is essential for building a strong and inclusive community. We need to work together to create housing solutions that support families, promote stability, and allow everyone to thrive. By prioritizing affordable housing, we can help ensure that Salinas remains a place where people of all backgrounds can live and succeed. 

 Every resident deserves to feel safe in their homes, neighborhoods, and public spaces. I am committed to working with law enforcement, community leaders, and residents to create effective strategies that address crime prevention, improve response times, and build trust within our community. Together, we can ensure that Salinas is a safe and welcoming place for everyone. 

 Maintaining and improving our roads and sidewalks is essential for the safety and convenience of all residents in Salinas. Well-maintained infrastructure not only facilitates smoother transportation but also enhances the overall quality of life in our community. I am committed to investing in road repairs, sidewalk improvements, and ensuring accessible pathways for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike. Together, we can build a city where everyone can move safely and efficiently. 

 Public parks and green spaces are vital to our community's mental health and well-being. They provide a place for relaxation, recreation, and connection with nature, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Access to well-maintained public parks promotes physical activity, reduces stress, and fosters social interaction. I am committed to preserving and enhancing these essential spaces, ensuring that everyone in Salinas can enjoy the benefits of a healthy and vibrant outdoor environment. 

 Trails and walking paths are invaluable assets in our community, offering safe routes for exercise, leisure, and connecting with nature. They provide a welcoming space for walking, running, and biking, encouraging a healthier lifestyle and fostering a sense of community. By investing in the development and maintenance of these paths, we can enhance the quality of life in Salinas, making our city more accessible and enjoyable for all residents. Let's work together to create a network of trails that promotes wellness and connects our neighborhoods. 

 Development and growth in Salinas must be sustainable and centered on the needs of our communities. It's essential that we prioritize projects that benefit residents, protect our environment, and preserve the character of our city. By planning thoughtfully and engaging with the community, we can ensure that growth enhances our quality of life, provides affordable housing, and supports local businesses. Together, we can create a sustainable future that meets the needs of today's residents while safeguarding resources for future generations.
