About me. I work in trucking transportation. I have an educational background in Management/Government, and an MBA from William &amp; Mary. I have been a small business owner and serve on the Citizens' Advisory Committee for the LBPD. I'm a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, where we watch over our oceans and inspect adjacent property while promoting boating safety. I was a planning committee member for the L.A. Neighborhood Congress and volunteer thoroughly. But enough about me, this is about you.</h3>Here in Long Beach, every day we hear the news of financial calamity, the ups and downs of the economy, and the city swimming in the currents. Wasn’t it just the other year when CA was balanced, flush with cash, and able to afford our high quality of living? What happened? The last few years happened. Working in trucking, I saw firsthand how the economic disruption tore the livelihoods from hard workers and business owners. I cannot sit and watch as it happens to our community.Vote for me to represent you. Our council position is a vital, real-time voice for our district. The city administration is full of achievement and smart people but cannot complete their work without our initiative and stamp of approval from experience out here in the neighborhoods. Much of our everyday services and opportunities are wasted if we do not utilize every chance to maintain, grow, and refresh Long Beach. Do we want an average city that relies on political swings and optimism that all works out when the economy balances itself? One regularly portrayed in city rankings as "troubled" for financial stability, safety, spending, infrastructure, pollution, fraud, and quality of life/city services? Or do we want a strong city that weathers any storm and is the benchmark for quality-of-life rankings? That is my vision.I represent for results. Starting day one, every contact always receives a response and a feedback form. Financially, we need to review operations to protect people, jobs, and essential services. There are many ground-level realities to focus on. I’m different. From day one, instead of taxes, I will recommend smart upgrades to protect people, jobs, and funding priorities, and build core, enduring, sustainable financial management and reserves. First, I will seek a resolution for Six Sigma style–standard sustainable government accountability to rein in processes, vendors, and make every dollar count. Then, I will recommend to the city manager and agendize meetings to establish a portfolio manager with large asset experience to guide city revenue-generating assets to the highest performance with and Urban Wealth Fund, as done in the world’s model cities, to maximize value, use diversified investments, reclaim millions, eliminate waste, and reduce reliance on swigs of polluted, unreliable oil revenue and hand-to-mouth taxes/fees. Meanwhile, I will file a budget amendment to fund a centralized data system like the one that supported San Jose’s economic turnaround. This starts our input on the financial emergency.Additionally, there are a lot of other unmet priorities. Just as I witnessed the sad truckers’ lives upended, so we’ve stepped over those in the streets, endured crime, business shuttering, and many problems that originated in our district, like metro blight spillover. Starting day one, I will represent you to fix the issues. For example: District 1 priorities and strategy will supercharge the city’s vision and the mayor’s mission to build business and jobs. Immediately, I will vote in support of fellow councilmembers’ CORE Strategy motion, which strengthens police discretion to intervene in mental health and public safety crises. I believe in world-class city services, especially public safety. Enduringly, I will seek a housing first resolution that guarantees a basic, clean, fraud-free city shelter with uncompromising extra bed-capacity capability for the bad times with better options in development. I will be an upstander to predict and represent pockets of inequity in our neighborhoods. Additionally, I will recommend upkeep like power-washing sidewalks, increasing streetlight copper ordinances, and building innovative metro partnerships by creating the metro improvement zone initiative to enforce and refresh metro-adjacent blight once and for all. For vehicle-pedestrian safety, I will start by pursuing an ordinance change in traffic code 10.02.150 and add “look” and “listen” to the definition of stop. Then, I will strengthen pedestrian right-of-way protections. For parking, I will seek a resolution for a permanent city tech upgrade to a working smart parking-locator app that actually works. But wait, there’s still stopping excessive taxing and fees, environmental issues like the west side pollution burden, port success, the LA River, business stimulus, school boosters, and so much more. Call/text/stay tuned to discuss and shape an excellent Long Beach.Now for the fun stuff, I want to add a few cooling Himalayan salt benches, turn odd parcels into micro-parks like Victory park to increase green space, a Singles Recognition Day and a Marriage Day, and promote social mingling through support for a wider variety of community engagement. I even hope to make the long-bed truck the official vehicle of Long Beach. As our flag states, let's live&nbsp;Urbs Amicitiae, “The Friendly City”.Long Beach is a community of neighbors within a best-in-class city. District 1 is front-and-center for municipal excellence in everyday service results. Representing you, I respect proper checks and balances to reinforce the city’s design as a highly ranked full-coverage humanitarian safeguard where everyone feels at home. The next four years will bring challenges and opportunities. We can meet them with assertive teamwork. Let's change the status quo and move LB from good to great to excellent. Vote Goleman.&nbsp;I'm rooting for you.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/7213674b-3f5b-4e5f-983b-0c5d46d033f0/1d15dda7-c52c-4b25-88cf-728c57b51030/1d15dda7-c52c-4b25-88cf-728c57b51030.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C19%2C304%2C145&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/7213674b-3f5b-4e5f-983b-0c5d46d033f0/3340da22-06b5-4241-9412-b48398397b58/3340da22-06b5-4241-9412-b48398397b58.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C454%2C548&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="30" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">

“It's about you!" I'm running for Long Beach City Council to bring full-coverage representation, safe and friendly neighborhoods, efficient city government, and world-class services to District 1. Join the campaign and help strengthen and refresh Long Beach.I’ve run a business, worked through economic ups and downs, and dealt with the real impact of rising costs and shifting demand. That’s what drives me to step up. I’m running because too many basic issues are not getting fixed and too many people feel like they are on their own when they need help. To me, the job is simple. Pay attention. Follow through. Fix problems. Long Beach should work better than it does today. And it should feel like a community people are proud to be part of.
