ABOUT JAMES
I am a 19 year resident of Upland and I am committed to making Upland a great community where residents feel safe protecting our community, strengthening fiscal responsibility, and ensuring our city continues moving forward with thoughtful and accountable leadership.
I was elected to the Upland City Council in 2022 with a clear purpose: to bring greater transparency to local government, make responsible financial decisions, and prioritize the safety and quality of life of our residents. Since taking office, I have worked diligently to ensure our city government remains responsive, efficient, and focused on delivering real, measurable results.
I believe effective leadership begins with listening. I value the input of residents, business owners, and community stakeholders, and I use that perspective to guide practical, informed decisions that reflect the priorities of our community.
