I arrived in Lemore in 1981 as a newspaper journalist. I started getting involved in the community. I earned a California teaching credential and taught for several years before becoming an administrator at Lemoore High School. I ran for the Lemoore City Council in 1990 and won a two-year term. I subsequently won four additional four-year terms and left the council voluntarily in 2008.

Political Philosophy
At the city council level there are n Democrats or Republicans. It's all about keeping one's city safe and propperous. It's about keeping the water flowing, the streets clean, and keeping the public safe. A big par of the job is to do what one can to promote fiscal responsbility and work to create jobs and recreational opportunities.
