Why I Ran

I am your new City Councilor for District 6.

I ran under the clean elections process. I worked very hard to bring about clean elections, now we have shown that it works.

I have a strong commitment to community-based governance - I hold that elected officials are accountable to the electorate, not special interests.

As City Councilor, I will:

Ø Stand up for an open and honest city government;
Ø Work to make our neighborhoods safer by balancing traditional law enforcement with drug and alcohol treatment and prevention programs;
Ø Fight for better transit to address increasing traffic congestion and carbon emissions; and;
Ø Stand up for planned growth so that older neighborhoods aren’t subsidizing sprawl development
