In Desert Hot Springs, I met a village. As a single parent, the people of this city helped me raise my daughter. Other parents invited my daughter to participate in their daughter’s Quinceañera and took her on a vacation that I could not afford.
Besides helping me with my daughter, DHS allows me to feel the words of Martin Luther King - - where my child and I were able to walk as equals to others.
Thus, I give back to Desert Hot Springs.
I work with the DHS Historical Society, and I am a founding member of the Cabot’s Museum Foundation, Friends of the Library, and DHS Diversity, LiLac.
I continually serve on the Palm Springs Cemetery District, Regional Access Project Foundation, DHS Women’s Club, and independently on the DHS Homeless Committee and served on the Planning Commission, the DHS Citizens Finance Committee, and others.
I want to continue as your public servant as a City Council member for District 3 - and for the entire city. I will continue to do my homework, stay focused on the facts, and weigh the fairness to all. I modestly ask for your vote this November.
