Candidate for
Rent Stabilization Board Commissioner; City of Berkeley

I have a long-standing commitment to neighborhood and community stability, and that is one of my primary interests in promoting tenants' rights and protections. Neighborhoods that have a healthy mix of homeowners and renters contribute to Berkeley's rich diversity.

I feel very fortunate to live in Berkeley. I do not take that privilege for granted, because many Berkeley residents are vulnerable.

Fifty-five percent of this city's residents are tenants. Our schools, businesses, and workplaces are diversified and enriched by their presence. Building strong community takes time. It only happens when a population is stable, not disrupted by evictions and/or economic conditions.

As a member of the Rent Stabilization Board, I will support Berkeley communities and residents. I pledge to be fair and to serve the interests of all Berkeley residents.

I am civically involved in many aspects of Berkeley's unique culture, and I bring that experience to the Rent Board with integrity and commitment. I would be honored to continue to serve and protect our communities.

I am endorsed by sitting Rent Board Commissioners Chong, Shelton and Tregub. I was chosen to run on the pro-rent control slate nominated at the July 25th Berkeley Tenants Convention.
