I'm running for Supervisor to create a Safe, Healthy & Sustainable Sonoma County. I bring over 17 years of local experience to the Board of Supervisors as a Santa Rosa City Councilwoman, Sonoma County Human Services Commissioner, Sierra Club Executive Committee member, Sonoma County Water Coalition Co-Founder, and Sonoma County Conservation Council Vice-Chair. I serve on the the following Santa Rosa committees: Gang Prevention Task Force, Environmental, Waterways, and Board of Public Utilities Liaison. For 28 years as a mechanical engineer (graduate UCLA), I've specialized in energy and environmental management for the Environmental Protection Agency, PG&E and my own energy conservation consulting firm. I am uniquely qualified to analyze our resource challenges and offer solutions to our limited water supply, improving air/water quality, curbing greenhouse gas emissions, and preserving agriculture/greenbelts. My priorities + growing green local economy + reducing crime/gangs + increasing affordable housing + improving public transportation, pedestrian, bicycle options + expanding alliances of business, government and community groups to solve traffic, planning, healthcare and education challenges. As a mother, former foster parent, former caregiver for my grandfather with Alzheimer's, bilingual daughter of an immigrant and Co-Founder of Sonoma County's Special Olympics soccer, I understand life's diversity. I pledge to represent all our citizens. I'd greatly appreciate your vote. |
