- Party: Democratic
- Occupation: Businesswoman/Tracy Councilwoman
- As a Democratic businesswoman, I will work for a stronger economy with better wages and "no-new-taxes" fiscal policies.
- I was elected to the Tracy City Council in 1991 where I've advocated for better police and fire services.
- As a Councilwoman, I fought for better planning and made sure developers paid for new schools.
- I've stood up against illegal gun sales on public property and have been a leader against domestic violence.

Priorities:
- With a background in business, I'll fight to cut unnecessary sales taxes and to stop wasting government money.
