City Council 2021 Candidate Questions
1 | Page
QUESTION
• While my concern/question isn’t a priority during these times, how would you address the amount of garbage, that
irresponsible people have decided to throw out on the streets of the city? During my walks, I’ve seen furniture, clothes, small
appliances, shoes, masks and, most recently, items left on neighborhood street corners. Not sure if the dumping of garbage is
related to the pandemic.
• I would like to know how much is too much? When will the building end? Our city can only handle so much growth at a time.
We need to concentrate our strength of the people and the standard of living in SSF. Let’s upgrade around our residential
areas and beautify our city. Let’s upgrade and grow Orange Park. Let’s set up a permanent campground for the homeless. Let
us all make SSF a safer place to live by hiring more peace officers. We have a great city, it’s time to invest more in its citizens.
• With all the new housing buildings being introduced to SSF, what are plans to not overload our already crowded schools?
• Do you own personal financial investments (stocks etc.) in companies that are located in, or own subsidiaries in South San
Francisco?
o If so, with what company(s) and est. $ amount invested
• Do you support reallocating funds from the SSFPD to community empowerment and social service programs?
• How do you plan to counter gentrification that is forcing long-time residents of South San Francisco to flee this community?
• What is your plan to address the need for affordable housing?
• Do you support the rezoning of SSF to eliminate single family only neighborhoods?
• What will you as a candidate do to ensure that our city will do more in terms of helping the climate crisis?
• The property at El Camino Real and South Spruce is an eyesore and has been blighted for more than half a decade. The
developer does not seem intent to proceed on any proposed plans for this property, despite prompting by the City. This
unsafe and unsightly property, with its falling down buildings, is one of the first things people see as they drive into SSF. What
do you think should be done to address this issue? What priority would you give these actions?
• At last week's Council meeting, Vice Mayor Nagales proposed that the City examine universal basic income for its residents.
What is your position on this issue?
City Council 2021 Candidate Questions

• What is your vision for South City, particularly on public health-associated issues (for example, ensuring our built environment
encourages physical activity and personal connections, effective ways to help the homeless, etc)?
• I have been to many South City events and haven't seen any except 2 of these candidates at these events. Wondering if they
are as passionate about South City as I am.
• I have a question for the candidates what have they done for the Spanish community in South San Francisco
• WHO DO WE NEED TO: 'VOTE OUT or REPLACE to STOP the over-development of condos/apartments in our city!! I have
lived here for 40+ years and always enjoyed the 'SMALL TOWN' feeling of South San Francisco, but this over-development of
this quaint town has become over-bearing!! It started with the HIDEOUS looking condos that were built on the HILL.....and
now all the CONDOS !!!
• In what political party are you registered?
• As a councilmember, you will occasionally encounter instances where staff, scientists, and experts suggest one thing, but a
loud cadre of disaffected constituents say another. How can this dichotomy be addressed to most parties’ satisfaction?
• Regional issues often demand a regional focus. What opportunities do you see for working with regional partners to address
regional issues, such as housing, transportation, and services?
• Climate change may be the most-important issue of the 21st Century. What efforts can you see the City of SSF, as dictated by
its council, doing to alleviate climate change’s effects, both for the residents of SSF and for the planet in general?
• Would you support the eventual amalgamation of some local governments in order to form a leaner structure that can better
address larger issues of transportation, housing, and costs while eliminating competing fiefdoms?
• Do you know how the Council reviews the policies of the police department? How is police dept policy approved or not
approved by the Council? Should the police department policies be reviewed annually by the Council to see that they are in
line with 21st Century Best Policing Practices?
• Do you own personal financial investments (stocks etc.) in companies that are located in, or own subsidiaries in South San
Francisco?
o If so, with what company(s) and est. $ amount invested
• Do you support reallocating funds from the SSFPD to community empowerment and social service programs?

will you stop damaging the landscape of what was our charming town?

• Old Town is comprised of many single family homes and what many residents consider historical homes with their unique
charm and facades, especially being the founding ground of SSF. What steps would you take to ensure this area is protected

Questions directed by the City Council at its Regular Meeting of December 09,
2020:
What do you view as the greatest issue presently confronting the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco?
The greatest issues facing city council are the rapid development in south city and civic engage-
ment. There is a huge disconnect between local government and lifelong residents. Being this is
a moment of big changes within the city there is a big opportunity to be more inclusive for our
residents and build a greater sense of community.
What in your background will best prepare you to function as an elected official?
I have a lot of leadership experience within the business world having worked on major projects
across various teams constantly receiving feedback and making the best decisions for the task at
hand. I also have served on the Bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee for city council, hav-
ing started as a committee member then serving two terms as Vice-Chair, and recently elected
Chairman. I have reviewed project proposals on infrastructure, helped with the Pedestrian master
plan and provided feedback on behalf of my local community. As well as participated in various
town-hall events. Combining my professional experience, local government experience and be-
ing a native of our great city I feel I am very prepared to function as an elected official and serve
on city council.
What role do you believe local government should fulfill in people’s lives?
I have a firm believe that local government should be our biggest ally in life, liberty, and the pur-
suit of happiness. As I look back on my life there are a lot of highlights that can be tied back to
my local government. I learned how to swim at orange park, I had breakfast with Santa, and got
a great education right next door to city hall. I have always loved this city and participating in
local government is a great way to make sure this city stays great for generations to come.

Application for Appointment to the City Council
Questions directed by the City Council at its Regular Meeting of December 9, 2020:
What do you view as the greatest issue presently confronting the City Council of the City of
South San Francisco?
In my view, as I believe the City Council faces many challenges of all aspects, I will share my
thoughts on what I think are the greatest issues presently confronting the City Council: (1)
Coronavirus Pandemic – Aligning with San Mateo County Public Health Department and providing resources for City operations, community education and outreach (using PPE and getting tested/vaccinated, addressing food insecurity), support for local businesses, and support for workers (employers, employees, those who lost their jobs);(2)Development and
Land Use –Preserving the City’s rich cultural history while maximizing opportunities for
residential and economic growth;(3) Mobility and Transportation – Looking at accessibility,
including Downtown parking, residential parking due to increase of per household size,
pedestrian/bicyclist/motorist safety, public transportation options, and interconnectivity of
streets; and (4) Housing and Displacement/Homelessness – Affordability challenges mountas
housing costs are rising and outpacing income growth not only in South San Francisco but the
Bay Area as a whole.
What in your background will best prepare you to function as an elected official?
• I am actively engaged in the community and local government.
o As a 22-year resident of the Old Town/Downtown area, I have developed many
relationships with neighbors and business owners, being very familiar with their
concerns and needs.
Member of South San Francisco HOTHRA (Historic Old Town
Homeowners and Renters Association) during its re-inception from 2013-
2018
Co-founding member of South San Francisco Friends of Old
Town/Downtown, a grassrootsneighborhood group established in 2018;
since 2018-present, I have co-coordinated several events in this area,
including hosting several National Night Out gatherings and co-
coordinating a Flu Clinic with San Francisco Lions Club and San Mateo
County Health Department, Workshops on Primary Elections with Boys &
Girls Clubs of North San Mateo County, and supported the City’s
ShapeSSF Zoom workshops, Census 2020 Outreach and Education
Program, and San Mateo 101 Express Lane Project, among many others
o I serve on the City’s Parking Place Commission (Chairperson, 2019-2020 and
Commissioner, 2017-2018, 2020-present).
Page 2 of 3
o I serve on the City’s Traffic Safety Commission (Chairperson, 2020-present).
o I serve on The South San Francisco Commission on Racial and Social Equity
(2020-present).
o I am a graduate of the City’s 2018 Citizens Academy, so I am knowledgeable
about the City’s organizational structure, departments and their operations, and
City officials’ roles and responsibilities.
o I am a graduate of the South San Francisco Police Department’s 2015 Citizens
Police Academy in Spanish, giving me an overview of how it functions, trains its
officers, and the many services it offers to the community.
• I am an effective communicator and an active listener.
o I am bilingual and fluently speak and write in Spanish. As 33.9% of the City’s
population are of Hispanic origin, where 26% speak Spanish at home, I can serve
as a liaison between the City Council and Hispanic population.
o I exhibit empathy andI am respectful of others’ cultures and values, always trying
to have an open mind and learn.I support the City’s Diversity Resolution and
participated in the “Community Conversations” workshops and focus groups. I
also took diversity training courses at Cummins and ABC Companies.
o I am a team player, believe that collaboration is key, am approachable and
accessible, and offer excellent customer service. At my company, I was awarded
the 2019 Allison Transmission Guild Star Award for Commitment to Excellence
and Outstanding Service to the Allison Transmission Customers.
• I am a good leader, believe in accountability, and consider myself a lifetime learner.
As a Manager of the TransmissionDepartment at ABC Companies, I have taken
leadership and management training courses. I strive to be available to all departments
and employees, serving as a teacher and mentor, working closely with them to solve
complex technical issues as well as employee disagreements. During these times while
serving as a teacher and mentor, I, too, have learned from employees. It is the exchanging
of ideas and information, empowering employees, and reaching agreements on how to
disagree that have proven successful for me. I strive to always adopt a positive mindset
and use mistakes as teaching moments. I also do my best to stay up-to-date on current
events and industry trends.
• I am a critical thinker, organized, and prepared.When I served as an Allison
Transmission Specialist, I took several training courses on how to troubleshoot and
perform diagnostics on complex issues that require a critical-thinking approach while
staying focused during the process of finding or fixing problems. I believe it is important
to be prepared by staying proactive, conducting research, taking notes, and talking and

What role do you believe local government should fulfill in people’s lives?
Local government represents the residents’, businesses’, and visitors’ voices. As such, I believe
it is paramount for elected officials to respectfully and thoughtfully listen to citizens’ concerns
and complaints of everyday life and be accessible. It is important to be open-minded,
nonjudgmental, and empathetic. It is important that the citizens feel that they are being listened
to and heard, especially as it pertains to guaranteeing that their essential services are being
delivered and operations are running smoothly while maintaining public safety and quality of
life.

Hi, I’m concerned with the fact that community members’ questions are only three of the ones
slated tonight. We have to fit an entire election year of digging into a candidate’s backstory,
experience and ideology in the short time length you have set.
There are questions of financial transparency: are any of the candidates connected to monied
interests in the South City business community?
Housing: are you a renter and/or have been a lifelong advocate of renter protections?
Community: do you have personal connections (friends, family) in every community of SSF,
especially the predominantly LatinX east side, as you hope to represent a seat at large?
Questions that are answered by action:
what is the real motive of your candidacy? Ambition? Power? Money? Or is it genuine
concern for the people of South San Francisco.
And there are many many more questions that need to be asked by community members,
especially those who’ve felt alienated by the political process, in order for the prospective
council member to be as fully “representative” to us as possible.

To the current council and candidates:
I hope you are acting in the best interest in the current residents and families in south San Francisco and not just
corporations and imagined future residents. There are so many people in SSF who are hurting because of the
pandemic, but a lot of these people have been struggling before. How will you support and provide resources for
everyone in this city regardless or income, race, and citizenship status.
