Ontario has failed to show the leadership needed to address the housing crisis. Our community needs more affordable housing now. The city has lots of tools it can use to encourage sustainable, affordable development. The over emphasis on large single family homes prices out long time residents. Our community works hard and the city should fight hard for our community.

Ontario is a vibrant and dynamic city, but spending on improving public spaces is targeted at Ontario Ranch and downtown instead of spread out to include older neighborhoods and new apartments where people are building young families. We can invest more in our parks and streets so kids can safely play, older folks can go on evening walks, and young people can cycle safely to a bustling downtown.

Ontario has the largest budget in San Bernardino County, a major international airport, logistics and manufacturing industries. It is time we push for working families to reap the benefits of their labor. Ontario is a desirable place to do business and our work force needs a champion fighting for them at City Hall.

We need to invest in creating a world that puts children first. Children are the first to suffer from bad policy, and the impacts are lifelong. We should be building a world that allows children to explore, be curious, and become leaders. We need to ensure they can access public spaces safely, and we encourage a love of learning through investing in more access to after school programming.

Investing in making Ontario a more walkable city can reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, which can lead to improved public health, increased productivity, and a more sustainable environment. Walkable cities lead to more social interactions, and a stronger sense of community. Walkable cities are also safer and have much lower rates of crime. Investing in safer communities takes creativity and leadership.
