Building On A Legacy

I am running for one of the two open seats on the Los Altos Hills Town Council. Born and raised in the Hills I have witnessed many changes to our Town. I have also seen how the leaders and volunteers in our community have maintained our unique environment and character even as they welcomed new residents and managed development.

Years ago when my father Thomas Sherlock helped found the Town of Los Altos Hills + and during his subsequent service on the Town Council + he and a group of others implemented a vision for the future of the Town that I hope to continue.

I look forward to building on these visions and traditions and continuing the excellent work of our current council to:

  • Maintain our rural character and charm
  • Carry on our sound fiscal management
  • Cultivate a unique system of pathways and open space preserves
  • Establish sustainability on all levels

Reinforce Community:

  • Develop programs to address the needs of our Seniors
  • Support and enhance the Neighborhood Network Program
  • Educate residents on emergency preparedness
  • Promote bicycle/car safety

Those who know me well trust me to be a strong leader and active voice for the Town, while listening carefully to resident concerns. They also expect me to have the thoughtful perspective of someone who has rebuilt a home, raised a family here, and has seen the long term implications and consequences of Council actions and policies over the years.
