A Voice for the Neighborhoods
It has been less than a year since my special election victory sent the city council a wake up call that Redwood City's neighborhoods would no longer be neglected. During that short time, I have succeeded in moving flood control and traffic alleviation measures to the top of the city council's priority list. Much more remains to be done, however. The council is waiting to see if my election was an accident or a real statement from the neighborhoods. With your support, I will continue to make traffic alleviation, flood control, enforcement of litter laws, and more public input into city planning and spending decisions the council's chief goals. I will also continue my battles with the federal government to keep the Redwood Shores levee open to the public and with the Redwood City school district to improve its nationally embarrassing student test scores. I ask for your vote to remain your independent voice and fiscal watchdog on the city council. We must raise the standards in Redwood City to match the incredible potential we have to become the most well-run, prosperous, and attractive community on the Peninsula.
