Working For Alameda

In 2024 I led the council to expand Alameda's Investment Policy to prohibit city funds from being invested in companies that profit from fossil fuels or weapons manufacturing.
The 2025-27 Bi-annual Budget is balanced and uses available resources to support social service needs, public safety and infrastructure upgrades.
Alameda Point is changing as residents of deteriorating naval housing see their new housing under construction and unhoused individuals and families, along with vulnerable seniors and veterans, look forward to the opening of Alameda Housing Authority North Housing project later this summer.

On the StopWaste board I develop and implement policies to help Alameda businesses, residents, and schools reduce waste, recycle properly, and use resources efficiently.
At the state level I advocate for environmental sustainability as a member of the League of California Cities Environmental Quality Policy Committee.
As a member of the board of Alameda County Healthy Homes I'm working to eradicate the lead-based paint that remains in many of Alameda's Victorian and Craftsman homes.

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.
In March 2025 my colleagues voted in support of my initiative to establish red light cameras at certain intersections, making streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.
