Desert Hot Springs Mayor!
 

Our council must address the ongoing issue of inflation, which is straining family budgets. There are suggestions inside City Hall to raise property taxes and fees. This is not the time for City Hall to make inflation worse. We must be mindful of the strain on family budgets and avoid measures that would add to the family burden.

One of our pressing needs is to get a better handle on city finances by enhancing city council oversight and ensuring more public involvement in significant spending decisions. As Mayor of Desert Hot Springs, I will ensure public oversight and that city council spending controls are enhanced to safeguard our City’s financial well being.

My goal is to continue our progress with an emphasis on fostering the best ideas. It’s vital for a mayor to create space for all ideas to be heard and considered, including those from the public and fellow council members. I am committed to ensuring residents feel welcome at our meetings.

​Desert Hot Springs has achieved a significant milestone in public safety, earning recognition for having the lowest crime rate per 1,000 residents in the Coachella Valley, according to the latest Department of Justice statistics. This accomplishment is the result of years of dedicated efforts, including increased funding, enhanced training, and community policing initiatives.    *(KESQ)
