Welcome to Whittier.

Our city’s story stretches back generations, from the Gabrielino people who first inhabited this land, to the ranchos of Spanish and Mexican California, to the Quaker founders who built a community grounded in service, education, and opportunity. That history is not just something we look back on. It shapes the expectations we carry forward today.

Residents expect a city that works and works well.

My administration is focused on delivering results that people can see and feel in their daily lives. Our priorities are clear.

We are strengthening public safety so every neighborhood feels secure. We are investing in our streets, sidewalks, and public spaces to ensure Whittier remains clean, accessible, and well maintained. We are committed to responsible budgeting that protects essential services while planning for the future.

We are also working to support small businesses, attract quality investment, and grow our local economy in a way that reflects Whittier’s character. This includes improving how people move through our city and ensuring that development is thoughtful, balanced, and community focused.

Just as important, we are raising the standard at City Hall. Residents deserve transparency, clear communication, and a government that is responsive and accountable.

Whittier has always adapted and grown, from an agricultural community to a modern city within Southern California. Our responsibility now is to meet this moment with the same sense of purpose and ensure that progress keeps pace with the needs of our residents.

We will measure success not by plans, but by results.

Thank you for being part of our community.
