 I am excited to share that my new podcast - Govern is live! This podcast is designed to explore the roles of elected officials, how government operates, and what it takes to create real change. We’ll dive into forward-thinking leadership, leadership lessons, and how we all can influence the decisions that shape our communities and futures.
In this inaugural episode, "Supervisor of What?" I talk about my professional journey in government and give insight into what a county is, how it functions, what a County Supervisor does, and more.
I hope you enjoy the conversation and find some valuable insights. You can listen on your favorite podcasting platform or watch on YouTube. Be sure to subscribe and stay tuned for our next episode.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of welcoming Chris Hayre, Sports Reporter for KCAL 9 News, to my District Office in Chino Hills for a behind-the-scenes look at all the exciting things happening in the Fourth District.
In the first segment, we kicked things off with a spotlight on The Ontario Sports Empire—a game-changer for our area. This amazing venue will soon house the Dodgers Minor League team, adding a whole new level of excitement to our sports scene.

In the second segment, Chris stopped by Bullwinkle's in Upland. It’s not just about reliving the good ol’ days; it’s about bringing fresh fun and memories to a new generation. Chris got the scoop on how the revamped Bullwinkle’s is ready to keep the nostalgia alive while adding some exciting new twists.
To wrap up the day, Chris headed over to the Montclair Plaza to experience Main Event! With bowling, laser tag, and all sorts of entertainment, it’s sure to be a hit for families, friends, and anyone looking for a good time.
I’m so grateful to Chris for stopping by to hear all about the amazing things happening in the Fourth District. Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning of even more to come!
