Questions & Answers

1. What experience related to city government would you bring to the City Council?

I have been a member of two city commissions and I am currently in my second term serving on the Campbell Planning Commission. I have more than 30 years of financial business experience including owning a small business in Campbell dealing with tax preparation and representation and small business consulting. I have the practical experience needed to make difficult decisions relating to revenue generation and expense management.

As Chair of Campbell's Planning Commission I understand the effects of development on the City and regularly address difficult issues impacting our community. I also have experience serving Campbell as a member of the Rotary Club of Campbell and as a volunteer with Campbell Middle School, Citizen Schools, Relay for Life, Stop Hunger Now, Books for Treats, and the Campbell Chamber of Commerce.

My financial education, business experience and public service history make me uniquely qualified to tackle the issues that come before Campbell's City Council and to provide the accountable leadership the residents of Campbell deserve.

2. What concerns are of particular importance to the city and how would you address them?

My priorities include ensuring neighborhood safety, maintaining a strong local economy, and preserving Campbell's small town feel.

I will ensure our police force has the resources needed to protect our growing population and that key infrastructure including our roads and parks stay well maintained and safe for all users.

Campbell must also promote an environment in which businesses can succeed and contribute to a strong economy. Achieving this goal will result in enhanced city services for all residents without impacting Campbell's small town feel.

3. How would you balance the needs of the City as a whole with groups' interests?

Consistent with my policy as Chair of Campbell's Planning Commission, as Councilmember I will continue to collaborate with Campbell residents. My decisions will be made with consideration of the needs of the community and with a long-term vision for our city's future.
