One candidate desiring to serve with integrity, intellectual honesty, and the willingness to learn and craft a campaign platform cemented on facts. I am looking forward to supporting one candidate with a compelling track record in engaging with the community and doing the necessary homework. It takes time, dedication, and resources to ramp up a successful campaign. The purpose of making this announcement roughly nine months before the general election is to provide the all-clear to viable candidates, as I am confident they will emerge in short order. I am immensely grateful to those who recognized my genuine desire to serve and supported me over three campaigns and my time on council. However, what prevailed was our belief that the principle of term limits is paramount in strengthening a self-governing society. It was not an easy decision as we considered several factors in our deliberation. With the counsel of my amazing wife, Charlotte, I have decided not to seek a third term. Yet, all good things in life must come to an end. I have loved being part of it, and I gave it my all. There are no magic wands, and banal platitudes will not get the job done just old-fashioned roll up your sleeves will. Challenges are always present, but there are no opportunities if there are no challenges. La Quinta’s positive trend in all metrics is undeniable, the way forward trajectory is clear, and the future is bright. In a self-governing society, at times, compromise is the optimal solution. As a Council, we appropriately employed open debate, dialogue, public outreach, deliberation and made reasonable efforts to balance the equities. Our Commissions and AdHoc committees have undertaken active roles on all issues in a superb fashion. We remained proactive, pivoted as needed, and accomplished remarkable objectives by transforming and optimizing city government efficiencies, fostering citizens’ engagement, effectively investing in enhancing the quality of life, Public Safety, amenities, and infrastructures. The city’s daily operations are in the hands of a professional, highly qualified, and dedicated City Staff. Together, we adapted to many challenges over the past seven years. I love La Quinta, our beautiful and vibrant community made of amazing people. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life to serve our city, and it has been an honor and privilege to represent you. ![]() As I enter the final stretch of my second term as a La Quinta council member, I feel a sense of immense gratitude for the opportunity you have given me. ![]()
