As a lifelong Ontario resident, I have heard from the community and residents what’s truly needed in our city. Words like transparency, public safety, environmental preservation, and quality of life are what I have most commonly heard. Through listening, I have focused my attention on what my policies will be as mayor. I want to make Ontario about the people, not for profit. As mayor, my duty is to be a public servant. I will listen and change Ontario so it is actually for the people, not for profit.
01
Affordable Housing
Make homeownership and affordable housing more attainable for Ontario families.
Ontario families who work here should have a real opportunity to live here. We should prioritize quality, affordable housing built and maintained in partnership with local labor unions and create good jobs. Sell houses through the city to ensure that private developers and corporate landlords do not sell overpriced housing.
Housing should serve the people who call Ontario home, not simply the interests of investors and corporations.
A home should be a place to live, build a future, and raise a family—not just another financial asset.
02
Better Access to Public Transportation and Walkability
Making Ontario easier, safer, and more accessible for everyone—whether you take the bus, drive, walk, or cycle.
Fast repairs on roads and sidewalks. Creating more comfortable bus stops, expanding bike lanes, and building bigger sidewalks to all parts of Ontario.
Better pedestrian infrastructure and public transit give people more freedom to access work, school, local businesses, and essential services without relying on a car. The goal is to build a more connected Ontario, where every neighborhood is accessible, safe, and designed with all people in mind.
03
End the Overexpansion of Warehouses
Protect our neighborhoods from unchecked warehouse growth.
The expansion of warehouses has caused Ontario and San Bernardino County to rank #1 for the worst ozone pollution in the entire U.S., through truck traffic, truck idling, and energy use from warehouses.
Ontario needs stronger zoning protections and environmental restrictions to prevent our environment from being harmed. Development in Ontario should go back to the residents—parks, stores, small businesses, schools, and more.
04
City Council Transparency
Transparency is key to a city government’s success. Elected officials are meant to serve the city, and transparency is what makes it possible for residents to know what is happening.
The city council will make mistakes, but the goal is not to hide those mistakes. The city council must have residents in mind in every decision, especially when it is how tax dollars are spent.
Make Ontario’s financial reports more user-friendly to read, and make all corporations and developers the city works with accessible. Invest in good city auditors to know exactly how much money is being spent and received, what we can spend less on, and what to invest more in, in favor of our residents’ needs and wants.
Make city council meetings accessible at all times with live translators. Every resident of Ontario should be able to attend a meeting online or in person with easy understanding. Whether you speak Spanish, English, Chinese, sign language, or more, every decision in city council is for every resident.
05
Support Workers and Unions
Workers are the backbone of Ontario. They build our homes, educate our children, care for our families, serve our food, and keep our businesses and city running.
Every worker deserves fair wages, safe working conditions, affordable benefits, and to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their background or immigration status.
Unions give workers a collective voice to stand up for better working conditions and fair treatment. When we support workers and unions, we strengthen working families and build a stronger community. Our city should stand with the people who work every day to make our community a better place.
06
Support Immigrant Families
Since the rise of ICE enforcement around the entire U.S., Ontario has been affected as well. Ontario is a place for everyone, including our immigrants, regardless of immigration status.
With ICE taking away our family, neighbors, business owners, students, and more, it is the city leaders’ job to protect them.
Ban Flock cameras. Flock cameras have been known for targeting immigrants by stalking where their vehicles go based on shared data. Banning Flock cameras would remove this access and protect not just immigrants but everyone and their Fourth Amendment rights.
Creating an immigrant justice fund would help support families who have been targeted by ICE. This type of fund would help immigrant families with lawyers and humanitarian relief.
Immigrants matter just as everyone else. Immigrants work jobs, have children, are students, own businesses, and pay taxes. Families should not have to worry about being separated, and it is the city council’s job to protect them as much as possible.
