Position Papers
Vote NO on Measure C; Vote YES on Measure D
Measure C is NOT about curbing campaign finance abuses. It is an attempt to quell opposition and keep average people from mounting meaningful campaigns.

Measure D, on the other hand, would save $100,000 over ten years, would increase voter participation and would advance the cause of democracy in Pleasant Hill!

Let's Move Into the New Millenium with a Positive Approach and Cooperation
We need a new positive spirit on the Council! The Council must act accountably, with integrity and dignity. It must listen actively to all citizens and encourage partnerships between citizens, business, and government.
Let's Talk Traffic, Airports and Child Safety
Tough issues lie ahead: increased traffic, potential airport use, and child safety on routes to and from schools. These issues require careful analysis and regional cooperation. I will advocate for Pleasant Hill, promote child safety, work to add needed bike lanes and sidewalks, to increase crossing guards and law enforcement near schools, and to improving traffic circulation.
