Results

RESULTS MATTER.

Leadership isn’t measured by what you promise. It’s measured by what you do.

Elected, Returned &
Still Doing the Work

First elected to Adelanto City Council in 2018 and elected again in 2024. Public service isn’t something I’m asking voters to imagine me doing. I’ve been doing the work.

Making History

First African American woman elected to the Adelanto City Council and first Black woman elected to a city council in the High Desert. Representation matters, but making history is only meaningful if you use the seat to do the work.

Report Cards

From resident concerns to community-driven solutions. Built the Adelanto Water Justice Coalition to bring residents, experts, researchers, students, advocates and community organizations together around water quality and system concerns.

  • RESULT: A resident concern became an organized partnership and actionable solutions.
  • PRINCIPLE: Don’t just identify the problem. Build the table that can help solve it.

Challenged Adelanto’s Crime Free Rental Housing ordinance and worked to remove a policy that could create unnecessary barriers for renters.

  • RESULT: A problematic housing policy was removed.
  • PRINCIPLE: Public safety and housing justice do not have to compete with one another.

Helped move Adelanto toward declaring racism a public health crisis and toward community-centered action on racism, diversity and inclusion.

  • RESULT: Community participation became part of the policy-development process.
  • PRINCIPLE: Good policy gets stronger when the people affected by it are at the table.

The Record Isn't Finished

Our roads still need work. Our water system still requires investment. Residents still want more businesses, restaurants, retail, recreation and opportunities. Young adults still need stronger career pathways. Neighborhoods still need investment. Government still has work to do to earn and maintain public trust.

Government should have a scoreboard. Residents should be able to see what we promised, what we’re working on, what we’ve completed, what it cost, what outside funding we secured, and what measurable difference it made.

The Promise

ADELANTO IS GOING TO GROW. LET'S MAKE SURE OUR PEOPLE GROW WITH IT.

There is a place for me in this future.
