Let’s fight our problems,
not each other

It’s time for a reset at Berkeley City Hall. Two city council members resigned this year citing Berkeley’s broken, toxic local government – the actual words they used when they resigned.

I’m offering a fresh approach: finding compromise and bringing people together around common sense solutions.

I learned politics the nonpartisan way – as the youngest and first woman of color elected President of our local League of Women Voters. We focused on solving problems, not fighting each other. We worked to strengthen our democracy by increasing voter participation through education and policy-focused advocacy

I know this:

Together, we can build more affordable housing in all Berkeley neighborhoods and make shelters a safe and welcoming alternative to the street. Together, we can invest in mental health, social services, youth programming, and appropriate resources for our fire and police departments. Together, we can make our streets, sidewalks, and transportation systems safe and accessible for everyone. I’ve lived in Berkeley for nearly half my life and worked on local policy issues for over a decade. I know Berkeley can do better if our leaders stop the infighting and start working together.

I’m respectfully asking for your vote. Thank you!
