About Us
PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION
I AM RUNNING FOR GOODYEAR CITY COUNCIL TO CONTINUE TO WORK FOR OUR WONDERFUL CITY,
IMPORTANT ISSUES
IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE IN GOODYEAR. I SUPPORT BUILDING A SAFE CITY WHERE YOU CAN WORK, LIVE AND PLAY.
COUNSEL GOALS
PUBLIC SAFETY
- Support our public safety. Public safety is the foundation our city is built on.
- Make sure that Fire and Police are staffed and funded for growth. This includes ensuring sufficient staffing, fire and police stations in our growing areas, and ensure that our public safety has the most modern resources to protect us.
- Work with the Mayor and City Management to add a Public Safety Subcommittee to address issues that may have immediate need to address them in a timely fashion.
- Continue the growth of the ambulance service to ensure the best emergency care of our residents.
- Ensure that the RTC (Real Time Crime Center) becomes live and is a tool our police can use to keep our city safe.
- Utilize the most current technologies.
- Work with Code Compliance, the Mayor, City Management, and police to shut down unlicensed sobor living homes. Expand Code Compliance to ensure that our neighborhoods and apartment communities are maintained and safe.
- Look toward starting a Community Court with our neighboring cities. These hold offenders accountable and allow them to obtain resources under court supervision so they will no longer be a part of the system.
JOBS AND BUSINESSES
I pledge to continue to pursue those businesses that our residents want . We saw several new businesses announced including Trader Joe's, First Watch and High Tide. We need to continue to bring those high quality shopping and dining amenities into our city.
TRANSPORTATION
With all of the growth the roads have not kept up. We do need to ensure that the timing of construction is planned so no one neighborhood finds itself surrounded by construction.
We need to look to increase the WERIDE and also look to partner with WAYMO as some each valley cities have.
HOME
Goodyear needs to ensure that we have housing stock for all demographics. We have an opportunity to introduce owner occupied condos, townhomes, and brownstones. These owner occupied properties allows first time home buyers the opportunity to gain equity. We must be a place where all generations can live.
Community
Continue to ensure Goodyear is a place for all. With parks, amenities, playgrounds and pickleball courts for all ages.
WATER
Ensure that Goodyear has well planned reasonable growth. We have a 100 year water supply but that does not mean we do not need to conserve or look to other resources such as advance purification of our water supply.
PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION

ABOUT ME
I’m married to my husband Stephen, and together we raised our two children, Chris and Victoria, right here in Goodyear. Family has always been at the heart of everything I do, and that same commitment has guided my years of service to our community. I’ve had the honor of serving three terms on the Goodyear City Council, and before that, I was a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Beyond our city, I’ve been proud to represent Goodyear as Past President of AMWUA, Co-Chair of the National League of Cities Criminal Justice Committee, Chair of the International Council, and now as Chair of the Judicial Selection Advisory Committee. Professionally, I’ve worn many hats: I’m a small business owner with Bain and Lauritano, PLC, a former prosecutor and pro tempore judge, and I’ve shared my passion for the law as a faculty member at Rio Salado Community College teaching Constitutional Law and with Tin University, including time teaching in Romania. During my time on Council, I’ve focused on strengthening the core of our community. That’s meant supporting public safety with new fire stations, a modern police headquarters, upgraded 911 dispatch, ambulance services, and investing in quality-of-life amenities like our library, GSQ shopping and dining, a new recreation center, and expanded parks for families of all ages to enjoy.
Looking ahead, my priorities are clear. I want to: Keep public safety strong—it’s the foundation of our community. Continue attracting new businesses and good jobs. Expand transportation options, especially for our seniors. Improve code enforcement to keep neighborhoods safe and beautiful. Support arts and culture through events like First Fridays, live music, and community pop-ups. Make sure Goodyear has a diversity of housing—whether it’s executive homes or opportunities for first-time buyers. Goodyear is already a wonderful place to live, work, and play. With your support, we can keep it the true jewel of the Southwest Valley.
