Questions & Answers

1. What experience related to city government would you bring to the City Council?

I have been a City Councilmember for the past four years and Vice Mayor of Campbell for the past year. Together with my fellow councilmembers, I have helped to balance the city budget, restore our reserves, and provide excellent services to the people of Campbell.

2. What concerns are of particular importance to the city and how would you address them?

Campbell is in good fiscal health, but we need to keep it that way by constantly analyzing and assessing the ways we spend money and generate revenue. Like all other cities in Silicon Valley, we are looking to the future and crafting a sensible plan for growth that protects the vitality of our neighborhoods and provides for the next generation. And most importantly, we need to keep our streets safe for our children.

3. How would you balance the needs of the City as a whole with groups' interests?

I am proud to have support for re-election from a wide range of elected officials, community leaders, and organizations. While I maintain an "open door" policy, I make decisions only after considering ALL of the facts and the best interests of ALL of the people of Campbell.
