A MESSAGE FROM AUNDRE:

As a Police Commissioner for the City of Claremont, I have had the privilege of working directly to protect our neighborhoods and strengthen trust between residents and law enforcement. I believe that public safety is the foundation of a thriving community.

 

I am also proud to be part of a group dedicated to finding innovative ways to bring in more revenue for our city. Together, we are exploring creative opportunities, such as establishing an international film festival right here in Claremont. This initiative would not only celebrate the arts and culture that make our city unique but also attract visitors and boost our local economy.

 

My supporters come from all walks of life—newcomers and long-time residents, people with diverse political views—but we are united by a shared love for Claremont and a vision for its future. I am ready to build bridges, foster collaboration, and lead with integrity.

 

I invite you to join me in this journey. Together, we can protect what makes Claremont extraordinary and create a brighter future for generations to come. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, sharing ideas, and earning your trust and your vote.
