Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of San Ramon

Good intentions are not enough, it takes knowledge and experience to run a City. I am the ONLY candidate who has served on BOTH the Parks and Community Services Commission AND the Planning Commission.

I am committed to eliminate the embarrassing bickering that we continue to witness at each council meeting. I want to eliminate the politics of conflict and favoritism, moving to a more productive method of governing based on trust, respect, cooperation and what is best for all of San Ramon.

My goals when elected are:

• Develop and implement an after school enrichment program at every school in San Ramon. This program will be free and will include recreational activities, arts/crafts, peer tutoring and homework help.

• Insure that new development will never negatively impact traffic in San Ramon, and will aggressively work to improve regional traffic problems.

• Develop an appropriate mix of housing, especially affordable Senior housing. I pledge to never approve housing projects that are not agreeable to the residents of San Ramon. What works in Concord or Walnut Creek may not be what San Ramon residents want.

• Restore dignity, respect and trust in our relationships with citizens, Staff and Council Members. Our citizens should to be proud of their City Council, not embarrassed by their continual bickering.
