My Reelection Campaign
I am asking for your support in re-electing me because I deeply care about Loomis, its residents, our businesses, and our community. I have integrity, honesty, and a proven track record showing a solid commitment to serving the Loomis community effectively for over 27 years. With years of experience collaborating with Loomis Town staff, local agencies, and community leaders, I have worked on public safety, town infrastructure, and revitalizing our downtown corridor while maintaining the existing charm and historical heritage. Please support me by endorsing, volunteering, or donating to my campaign.
