Leadership Demands That We Make Tough Choices.

A Natural Disaster In One American City Is A Natural Disaster In Every American City, Including Fresno And, For That Matter, Every City And Small Town In The San Joaquin Valley.

In Fact, Even The Perception Of A Resurgence In Crime Can Be Enough To Paralyze Business Momentum And Destroy The Sense Of Security That A Vibrant And Progressive City Requires.

While It Is True That We Must Seek Value Added Industries Like Food Processing Plants And Call Center Operations, We Must Do What Is Necessary To Expand And Develop Our Economic Profile.

Nothing Is More Devastating To A Community Than Out-of-control Crime.

Fresno Is An All America City And Deserves Real, Honest, Strong Leadership And I Pledge To The People Of Fresno To Be That Kind Of Leader.
