A well-funded and well-resourced police and fire department is paramount to the continued high level of safety of our community. I will always support our outstanding Sheriff’s Office and Firefighters, ensuring they have everything they need to protect our residents each day.  This includes community policing programs, citizen outreach, first aid and fire preparedness, and neighborhood watch and crime prevention programs.

San Carlos has always been a City which values children and families. As a city councilmember, I will focus on the very real challenge of childcare access through partnerships with our County government, our schools, non-profit organizations and private businesses. Together we can work to provide more facilities and ensure more families can be relieved of this burden.

I am passionate about daily quality of life issues like preserving and maintaining our roads, sidewalks, safe routes to school and reducing traffic gridlock, as well as the stewardship of our numerous city parks, trails and open space. I will insist on thorough cost- effective and long-term approaches to infrastructure projects and initiatives.  

Ensuring that workers and families of all income levels can live in San Carlos near transit and shopping ensures a vibrant community. The creation of affordable housing is imperative. I will work to find ways to give our teachers, restaurant workers, laborers and first responders a way to live AND work in our community. This happens when the council works collaboratively with the housing community, housing providers, the state and the County.
