Standing up and being a fighter for the people of Pasadena - including the hard working families - has been the driving force in my career. As someone who has spent his entire life in this community, I am the only candidate who can build a dynamic, wide-ranging coalition from residents and neighborhood leaders, community and civic leaders, small business owners, grassroots activists, labor, and public safety that is needed to win. Pasadena has all the challenges of a large city and I have a unique understanding of all of its complexities.
