After listening to residents throughout Piedmont, I have heard a clear desire to protect what makes our community special while planning responsibly for our future. The community’s priorities are my priorities.

Public Safety: Ensuring safe roads, robust emergency preparedness, and strong police and fire services so our neighborhoods are safe and prepared.

Good Governance: Managing our resources wisely and ensuring residents have a meaningful voice in local decisions through fiscal responsibility, transparency, and genuine engagement.

Preserving Community and Sustainability: Responsibly meeting state housing mandates and future community needs while ensuring Piedmont remains a true home, not just a city. This requires investing thoughtfully in our infrastructure and planning for long-term environmental and financial sustainability.

If elected, my priority will be to bring a resident-first approach to City Hall from day one. I will ensure our community’s everyday concerns directly shape upcoming decisions on housing, safety, and budget. My goal is to be a collaborative, accessible leader who works alongside my colleagues to make thoughtful, neighborly choices for Piedmont.
