Candidate for
Council Member; City of Pacifica; 4 Year Term

Like most cities, financial stability is our largest concern. As Mayor and a member of the Pacifica City Council, I have worked to stop deficit spending and balance the city budget. We cut the general fund budget by 11%, consolidated services, and improved efficiencies within departments. Our budget is balanced, but our reserve is only about $1 million. We need to continue strong economic development. I have fought hard for Pacifica's share of County resources, established the Economic Development Committee, improved customer service in our Planning Department, reached out to Pacifica businesses with "Mayor's Walks," protected our environment, created the Beautification Task Force and led a community-wide effort that garnered national recognition for Pacifica as one of the six most beautiful towns in the U.S.

It has been an honor to serve my community. I would like to use the knowledge, experience, and county-wide connections I have gained to achieve financial sustainability, maintain and enhance city services, revitalize aging business districts, seek out and encourage new businesses, protect our hills, open space and environment, build a new library/life long learning center, support our schools and children, protect our seniors, and preserve our quality of life. I will continue to work to represent everyone in our community. Together we can Thrive!
