Unit 15
 |
Why are you running for office? I am running to strengthen lifeguards’ voices, improve working conditions and secure fair contracts. My experience in ocean safety and union leadership makes me a strong advocate for better wages, benefits and resources to support the safety and well-being of lifeguards statewide. |
What are your goals?
For negotiations, I aim to secure competitive wages, improve job benefits, enhance workplace safety and ensure lifeguards receive the recognition and support they deserve. My goal is to create a strong unified team and workforce that is valued for its critical role in public safety.
