Alternative Transportation!
Gregg has explored alternative transportation in Palm Desert since 1971 when he visited with Andy the Donkey Man where the Target shopping center is today. He'll keep investigating new options to get around town that are affordable and eco-friendly.

Restore Public Safety!
In 2020, the City Council voted unanimously to slash the police budget by millions leading to a 45% increase in violent crime. Gregg's opponent called her vote "smart police budgeting," but he calls it what it is--a mistake that needs to be fixed. Gregg will keep speaking up to restore the police budget so that Palm Desert residents feel safer from violent crime.
