Kevin's Blueprint for Carlsbad

Kevin knows that there is nothing more important than the safety of our communities and our families. On the Planning Commission, Kevin has worked to keep emergency response times low.

A cardboard box is not a home, and dangerous street encampments have no place in Carlsbad. Kevin will work with the police department to write policies allowing fair and equitable enforcement of Carlsbad's anti-encroachment ordinances.

As a small business owner, Kevin knows that small businesses are the engine of our local economy. From coffee shops and book stores in the Village to dentists and surf instructors, Carlsbad's thriving business environment is part of what makes this city so special.

Kevin recognizes the undeniable reality of climate change and is unwavering in his commitment to address its impacts head-on. He pledges to champion effective strategies aimed at curbing greenhouse gas emissions, bolstering air and water quality, and preserving our invaluable coastline and oceans.

Carlsbad's cost of living is soaring, making it impossible for the next generation to buy a home or for seniors to retire comfortably. Kevin will work to address that by making it easier to build housing at all income levels and requiring developers to build affordable units on-site instead of buying their way out.

Kevin deeply understands the weight and impact of gun violence on families and communities. He firmly believes that common-sense gun safety measures are imperative to protect our loved ones and maintain the safety of our neighborhoods.

Kevin will always stand firmly in support of a woman's right to choose. n the City Council, he will support Planned Parenthood along with other organizations dedicated to providing reproductive and sexual health services at little to no cost for people who need them.

Kevin is firmly against adopting SB 10 in the City of Carlsbad. We have the ability to meet or exceed our housing goals without resorting to extreme measures such as SB 10. In other words, SB 10 is using sledgehammer to crack a nut.
