Welcome to my website

I'm glad you decided to drop in to learn more. Allow me to share a bit about myself: I am a proud mother and grandmother who has dedicated over two decades of my life to serving our nation as a Chief Master Sergeant in the Air Force. I hold a bachelor’s degree in business management, and I have proudly called Hawthorne my home for nearly ten years.

After retiring from the military, my commitment to serve our country and its veterans remained unwavering as I embarked on a new career with the Veterans Health Administration. In my spare time I was appointed to the role of Chair of the Hawthorne’s Veterans Affairs Commission where under my leadership, we established our city’s first military banner program honoring the military men and women in our city who are or who have served our country. For me, service is not just a duty—it's a lifelong commitment. My dedication extends beyond my time in uniform; it encompasses a deep-seated pledge to our country, our community, and every family in Hawthorne.

I am now running for Hawthorne City Council with the sincere intention of serving this community that has given so much to me and my family. Your support will empower me to bring progress and positive change.

For too long, I’ve witnessed a City Council more interested in personal gain than public service. My promise to you is clear: “Public Service, Not Self Service.” Every decision I make as your Councilwoman will be driven by what’s best for you, not for myself.

I am disheartened by the current Council's relentless pursuit of their own interests, including their failed attempts to manipulate the City Charter for personal gain. I stood against their overreach two years ago and fought alongside many of you when they tried to revive this misguided effort earlier this year.

As you explore this website and learn more about my vision, I humbly ask for your support in my run for city council. Together, let’s reclaim integrity and professionalism in our City Council. We need leaders who are not afraid to face scrutiny, who welcome challenges from citizens and one another, and who are prepared to justify their decisions with transparency and honesty. Let’s build a Council that stands firmly for our community's best interests and demands the accountability we deserve.

important Issues

A homeless person asking for help

homelessness

We need a strong yet compassionate strategy to address homelessness. My approach is grounded in the principle of "Treatment First, Housing Second." Simply providing a key to a room without addressing underlying mental health or substance abuse issues has proven ineffective in our state. True progress comes through compassionate medical care followed by stable housing. By prioritizing treatment first, we can offer meaningful support and hope, ultimately helping to stem the tide of homelessness in our community.

Police and Fire protecting

Public Safety

Public safety is my top priority. We must enact local laws that equip our police and fire departments with the resources they need to keep our neighborhoods, streets, and parks secure. Without a safe environment, our quality of life suffers and our community’s well-being is at risk. I am committed to ensuring our first responders have the tools and support necessary to protect us effectively. Strong neighborhoods depend on robust public safety.

Creating a safe and vibrant community will not only attract new businesses but also reassure existing ones that Hawthorne is the cutting-edge destination. By fostering an environment of safety and support, we can drive economic growth and enhance the quality of life for all residents. Let’s work together to build a city where public safety comes first, ensuring that Hawthorne becomes a leader in the South Bay for success and opportunity.

Home construction

housing

Hawthorne is in urgent need of quality, affordable homes that truly meet the needs of our community. We must move beyond dense, impersonal apartment complexes and focus on creating affordable, neighborhood-oriented homes where working families can put down roots and build their lives. I am committed to ensuring that every family has the opportunity to own a home where they can raise their children and thrive. Additionally, we must collaborate with landlords and residents to keep rents manageable, making sure that our city remains accessible and welcoming. Let’s work together to create a Hawthorne where affordable housing is not just a dream but a reality for every family.

Road work

infrastructure

Hawthorne is poised for growth, and we must upgrade our infrastructure to keep pace with this progress. Modernizing our roads, utilities, and public spaces is essential to accommodate the demands of a growing city and ensure we can support new development effectively. Investing in our infrastructure will not only enhance the quality of life for our residents but also lay a strong foundation for sustainable growth. By prioritizing these upgrades, we can build a Hawthorne that is ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow while providing a vibrant and well-supported environment for all.

Hawthorne Airport Map

Airport

Our Hawthorne Airport has a rich and proud history, deeply intertwined with our community. From Jack Northrop’s groundbreaking “Flying Wing” in the 1950s to Elon Musk’s ambitious aspirations for Mars, our airport has been at the forefront of aerospace innovation. I am dedicated to ensuring that this vital hub remains a dynamic source of jobs and opportunities for our residents.

I will work tirelessly with both the airport and the community to maintain a strong, positive relationship, ensuring the airport continues to be a good neighbor while driving local economic growth. By supporting the airport's development and integrating it with our city’s growth plans, we can preserve its role as a cornerstone of Hawthorne’s future and a beacon of progress.

Olympic Games

coming events

As we tackle today’s challenges, I’m also dedicated to positioning Hawthorne to seize the unique opportunities presented by upcoming major events in our surrounding cities. By leveraging events like the Super Bowl in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028, we can invigorate our local economy, enhance community pride, and build lasting legacies for future generations.

Hawthorne stands on the brink of tremendous excitement and growth. Let’s seize these opportunities to elevate our city, welcome athletes and fans from around the globe, and transform these milestones into moments of success and celebration for our community. These rare events offer us a chance to shine on the world stage, and I am committed to ensuring that Hawthorne and its residents fully benefit by showcasing our city’s exceptional facilities, strengths, and hospitality. Together, we can turn these extraordinary opportunities into lasting achievements for Hawthorne.
