This information is provided by the candidate

As your council representative for the past four years, I have worked hard to be independent, accountable, responsive, and accessible. I respect your opinions and am always available to listen to your concerns. I take pride in being a strong advocate for your interests and in delivering effective constituent services. I practice a rational, thoughtful approach to municipal governance, and have the ability to build the alliances necessary to take action and get things done. I will continue to push for policies based on objective analysis, data, and measured outcomes.


Berkeley faces difficult challenges: limited resources, lack of financial transparency; budget deficits; unfunded pension liabilities; educational and health disparities; failing streets and sewers; and struggling businesses. In the North Berkeley hills, we need to increase police patrols to reduce property crime; improve 911 response times; educate about fire and earthquake safety; broaden the emergency cache program; expand bus service; and preserve the character of our neighborhoods by protecting views and maintaining parks.


I have the knowledge, experience, and skilled leadership to continue to represent you effectively on the council.
