Our priorities
What we will do
Keeping Temecula Safe and Family-Friendly
Every resident deserves to feel safe in our parks, shopping areas, and neighborhoods. I will implement a proactive, results-driven approach to addressing homelessness one that balances compassion with accountability, prioritizes public safety, and connects individuals to appropriate services and long-term support. Using the new mandates from SB 43 and enforcing existing laws. Temecula will be one of the safest cities in California.
Strengthening Fire Protection — Achieving ISO Class 1
Temecula already has an outstanding fire department. By investing strategically in staffing, training, and resources, we can move from an ISO Class 2 rating to the highest possible ISO Class 1 rating — improving emergency response capability and lowering insurance costs for residents and businesses.
Fixing Traffic and Infrastructure
Traffic has become one of the biggest frustrations for Temecula residents. And the truth is so far our city has been restricting our roadways and removing additional lanes with so called “road diets.” This defies all common sense and makes traffic worse. I will push for smarter traffic planning with improved road infrastructure (more lanes!) I will coordinate with regional agencies and implement adaptive signal technology across the city to reduce commute times and improve quality of life.
Responsible Leadership You Can Trust
I believe in fiscal responsibility, safety, transparency, and common-sense decision-making that brings true value to the citizens of Temecula. Taxpayer dollars should be spent efficiently and with measurable results that benefit residents.

As a single mother of a son with special needs, I know how important it is to have leaders who truly care about people. Russell Shirley went out of his way to help my son Carl. Russell petitioned for Carl with Costco and gave him an opportunity to pursue meaningful employment. Russell has a servants heart and did this because he genuinely cares about helping others succeed and I know he will bring that same compassion and dedication to servicing the residents of Temecula”

Russell Believed in me and brought me to Costco when I was looking for work. His encouragement and support meant a lot to me. He took the time to help me when he didn’t have to, and that shows the kind of person he is. Russell cares about people in our community and wants everyone to have opportunities to succeed. I am grateful for his help and proud to support him for Temecula city council.
