Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Monterey

During my service as a city councilmember, I have:

• worked towards revitalizing downtown

• helped cut costs of government

• was instrumental in having our Monterey City Library open every day

Upcoming Challenges

Monterey is at a crossroads, and change will happen. The new Mayor and Council, with our residents, will step out in a new direction. It is important for our elected representatives to listen and be open to input from all. I have always been deeply involved personally with community activities and events, and have planned many of them. I will continue to work towards making Monterey a "yes we can" city. In the near future, we will be faced with the following challenges:

• Creating a contingency plan for dealing with water shortages if the statewide drought continues

• Maintaining city services in the face of fiscal challenges

As your councilmember for the past eight years, as a long-time resident and retired teacher, I look forward to working with you on these challenges.

As a resident of Monterey for many years, I raised four children here and have enjoyed teaching the children of the Monterey Peninsula.

As a commercial and residential property owner, I know how important it is to keep business districts vibrant and thriving.

Each Monterey neighborhood is unique, yet each shares common concerns. As Monterey Vista Neighborhood Association president, I worked diligently to preserve neighborhood character.

Monterey is a special place to live, work, and visit.

I ask for your vote, so that I can continue to work with you.
