Working For Alameda

I believe that a municipal policy to encourage socially responsible investing is an effective way for residents to ensure that their tax dollars support community values.
When I joined the City Council in 2022 the investment policy prohibited city funds being spent on companies that make a profit from tobacco, gambling, coal and alconhol.
In June of 2024 I led the council to expand the prohibited investments to include fossil fuels and weapons manufacturers.

Representing Alameda on the StopWaste board I develop and implement policies to help businesses, residents, and schools thoughout Alameda County waste less, recycle properly, and use resources efficiently.
At the state level I am an advocate for environmental sustainbility as a member of the League of California Cities Environmental Quality Policy Committee.

I'm working on ways to make it easier to arrest and prosecute criminals. In 2023 I supported giving the City Prosecutor the authority to prosecute domestic violence crimes.
In June 2024 I joined all of my council colleagues in authorizing the purchase of two law enforcement drones, which will be used to respond to violent crime, disasters, and sideshows. We can and we will do everything necessary to keep the community, and first responders, safe from acts of violence.
In November 2024 I proposed that the City install red light cameras at certain intersections.
