Candidate for
Council Member; City of Oakland; District 4

As a parent with children in public schools, a Library Commissioner, and an effective community leader, I am running for City Council to improve the quality of life in District 4.

Under my leadership, the blighted corner at Moraga and Thornhill was transformed into Short Line Pocket Park. A founding member of the Montclair Safety and Improvement Council, I have worked on traffic/pedestrian safety, wildfire prevention, crime, parks and schools. I helped lead the campaign for the Wildfire Prevention District and served on its Advisory Board.

We need fresh perspectives on the City Council. With ten years of private sector experience and a degree in Business Administration and Economics, I can help bring about the change we desperately need. I have been listening to community concerns and making a difference in District 4 for nearly a decade. It would be an honor to serve you on the City Council.

District 4 has issues that, while different from the rest of Oakland, cannot be ignored by City Hall. The geography of our district creates a lot of our needs... fire, pedestrian/traffic safety, police patrol through weaving narrow streets, and public transit access. I will ensure that the needs of District 4 are met while carrying out a vision for a better Oakland.

Here are my goals for our city:

• Accountability

• Public Safety

• Economic Revitalization

• Build a Stronger Partnership with our Schools
