Candidate for
Council Member; City of Fremont

As the only candidate currently serving on the Fremont City Council, I am proud of our progress, and I'm committed to improving our quality of life over the next four years.

During my term, we opened Whole Foods, broke ground for downtown, and created an Innovation District in Warm Springs around a new BART station.

We also grew the economy and created jobs. Now Fremont is a top destination for high-tech companies, while small businesses still thrive. I'll keep our economic momentum going over the next four years, and work to expand our restaurant, retail and entertainment options.

We balanced the budget, funded senior services, invested money into paving our streets and helped our fire and police departments keep neighborhoods safe.

I have also worked hard to partner with schools, and ensure that the Fremont Unified School District and the city council work collaboratively.

I believe my deep roots in Fremont and relationships with our communities have helped me get things done for you.

I grew up in Fremont and attended public schools, as my kids are today. I run a successful company and led the business community as former President of the Fremont Chamber of Commerce. I also served as Planning Commissioner before becoming Councilmember.

I am proud to be the only candidate endorsed by Mayor Bill Harrison and every member of the Fremont City Council. We have a productive, collaborative relationship, and will continue making progress in another term.

I have also been endorsed by the Fremont Firefighters, Fremont Police Officers Association, business and environmental groups, workers and community leaders such as Rep. Eric Swalwell, State Senator Ellen Corbett, Supervisors Scott Haggerty and Richard Valle, Assemblymembers Bill Quirk and Bob Wieckowski and Alameda Board of Education Chair Eileen McDonald.

I hope to earn your support as well. Please contact me at 510-358-2797 with questions about the campaign or where I stand on the issues.

We've achieved a lot together on the City Council, but there's more work to do. I look forward to building on our progress over the next four years. Thank you.
