The Platform

A Safer. Stronger. More Family-Focused Indio.

A.J.'s vision for Indio is built on three core pillars — grounded in experience, driven by community.

Public Safety

A safer Indio starts with a well-supported public safety system and a community that trusts it.

Support and fully fund the Indio Police Department with the resources officers need to protect our neighborhoods.
Leverage A.J.'s P.O.S.T. certification and criminal justice background to bridge law enforcement and community.
Advocate for victim rights and Marsy's Law protections — ensuring those harmed by crime have a voice in the justice process.
Pursue smart, data-driven strategies to reduce violent crime and improve response times across all Indio neighborhoods.

Indio is growing — we must grow wisely, investing in infrastructure that serves residents today and tomorrow.

Prioritize road maintenance, sidewalk repairs, and street lighting in underserved neighborhoods.
Ensure new development contributes to — not detracts from — the quality of life for existing Indio residents.
Support local businesses and economic development that creates good-paying jobs for Indio families.
Promote transparent, accountable city spending so every tax dollar is invested where it matters most.

Indio should be a place where families thrive — with safe parks, quality programs, and a community that looks out for one another.

Invest in parks, recreational facilities, and youth programs that give Indio's children safe places to grow and play.
Support senior services and programs that allow older residents to age with dignity in the community they love.
Champion family-friendly events and cultural programming that celebrate Indio's rich and diverse heritage.
Work with schools and community organizations to expand after-school and summer opportunities for Indio youth.

"I believe in Indio. I've built my career here, I'm raising my family here, and I'm committed to making it the best it can be — for every resident."
