Three years ago, I was honored to be appointed to the Housing Commission by Mayor Jerry Thorne. Since then I have been working to build a better Pleasanton for all residents. Now, with your help, I'd like to continue that journey and ensure that our city remains strong and stable for future generations.

Essential workers are the life blood of any community. Right now, our teachers, first responders, and other vital workers are struggling to remain in Pleasanton, putting our future at risk. Longer commutes for these essential workers means more traffic, putting even more strain on our already overtaxed roads.

There is strength in diversity. As our community continues to grow, we need to create new solutions for decades-old problems. Increasing mental health services and creating opportunities for our minority and youth populations will help build a stronger Pleasanton.

Affordable Housing

Housing is the #1 problem facing Tri-Valley cities. As a member of the Pleasanton Housing Commission, I worked to create a safe, sustainable, and inclusive city for all. Now, I'd like to continue that work by helping us reduce traffic as well as retain our essential workers.

Invest in Social Services

Partnerships between law enforcement and mental health workers can greatly reduce local crime rates, as well as lead to a better quality of life for all.

Diversity and Inclusion

It's time for our local services to meet our community's changing needs. An office of diversity and community inclusion would address diverse community members needs and concerns on housing, as well as equitable job opportunities for minorities and youth.
