For over 30 years I’ve been proud to call Santa Cruz my home. I’d like to bring my unique background, experience and perspective to the Santa Cruz City Council for a second term.

I hope you’ll join my campaign and support my re-election to City Council, District 2, on March 5, 2024!

 

During my years in Santa Cruz I have demonstrated my love for community by working hard to support and advocate for all residents. 

 

Looking ahead at some of the priority issues you have shared, they include childcare options and affordability, racial and social equity, public health and safety, climate change, housing needs, and ensuring economic sustainability for people, and local and small independent businesses and artists. I am committed to creating even more opportunities to make housing affordable and accessible, especially for supportive housing, service workers, city workers, and middle income earners. I am prepared to bring my lived experience to support each of these issues, to work collaboratively to support our community and find sustainable solutions.

 

I am confident in my ability to work hard, communicate clearly and collaborate on our most pressing issues to produce sound and equitable outcomes with compassion.   

 

​My experiences have taught me the value of civil service, and I’m honored to have an opportunity to serve my community in this capacity. With your support, I will continue to lead Santa Cruz in a healthy direction towards becoming an even more resilient, connected and inclusive community.

​

Thank you!
