Stronger Community Engagement

A strong city is built when residents feel connected, heard, and involved in shaping the future of their community. My goal is to create more opportunities for residents to participate in civic life, share their concerns, and work together to strengthen Yuma.

​

Neighborhood Listening Sessions

I plan to hold regular listening sessions in neighborhoods throughout the city so residents can speak directly with city leadership about their concerns and ideas. These meetings will help ensure that decisions reflect the needs of the community and that residents feel their voices are heard.

​

Community Wellness Walks and Events

Community activities help bring people together. I support programs such as organized community wellness walks and family-friendly events that encourage residents to stay active while strengthening relationships between neighbors.

​

City Communication App

I support creating a Yuma community app that allows residents to easily report city concerns, share feedback, and stay informed about city news, events, and services. This platform would help improve communication between residents and city leadership while making it easier to address issues quickly.

​

Addressing Community Concerns

I will support establishing a dedicated team to review community concerns and feedback collected through the city app, public meetings, and other channels. These concerns will be reviewed and addressed during regular mayoral updates so residents can see how their input is shaping city decisions.

​

Accessible Public Transportation

Transportation plays an important role in community access and opportunity. I support exploring low-cost public transportation options for students, children, and residents over the age of 65 so more members of our community can travel safely and affordably.

​

Community Recognition and Civic Pride

Recognizing residents who contribute positively to our community helps build pride in our city. Programs that celebrate volunteerism and community leadership can encourage more residents to get involved and give back.
