Our regional parks need board members who actually use them. As an avid hiker, mountain biker, and weekly park user, I see firsthand where trail maintenance is neglected and how urgent proactive wildfire safety is for our parks, open spaces, and bordering neighborhoods.&nbsp;Having been appointed to the Park Advisory Committee (PAC) in 2022 and now serving as its Elected Chair&mdash;alongside my past leadership as PAC Finance Subcommittee Chair and a 30+ year career at Coca-Cola and Clorox&mdash;I bring the proven oversight and governance experience our parks need.
I&rsquo;m running for the East Bay Regional Park District Board of Directors to bring firsthand experience and professional, accountable leadership to park governance for residents across Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Sunol, Fremont, and Newark.
That hands-on, practical approach is why I am honored to have earned the endorsement of our local first responders:
<ul><li>&#128293; Alameda County Firefighters Association (IAFF Local 55)</li><li>&#128293; Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters (IAFF Local 1974)</li><li>&#128293; Fremont Firefighters (IAFF Local 1689)</li></ul>
They trust my campaign because I pair real user knowledge with a relentless focus on community safety. As your Director, my priorities for Ward 5 will be:
<ul><li>&#128658; Wildfire Mitigation: Proactive fuel reduction through prescribed fire and conservation grazing, and a fully staffed EBRPD Fire Department. That&rsquo;s how we keep our parks, our neighborhoods, and our firefighters safe.</li><li>&#128693; Responsible, Safe Access: Increasing safe, well-maintained trails for all users.</li><li>&#129413; Habitat &amp; Watershed Conservation: Protecting our parks, open spaces, and watersheds.</li><li>&#128104;&zwj;&#128105;&zwj;&#128103;&zwj;&#128102; Recreation: Support family-friendly park experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>&#128483;&#65039; Accountable Leadership: A park Director who listens to local residents and responds to your concerns.&nbsp;</li></ul>
I would be honored to earn your vote to bring active, accountable leadership to our regional parks.

The answer to homelessness is housing. The path to getting there is collaboration. 
Kathy Kimberlin, Fremont City Councilmember D3, was privileged to host her second Fremont screening of Beyond the Bridge, a powerful documentary exploring homelessness and the solutions that are achieved through collaboration. Many thanks to her stealth co-organizer Dr. Richard Godfrey. 
Mayors made up the post screening speaker panel: Raj Salwan-Fremont, Mike Hannon-Newark, Gary Singh-Union City, and Mark Salinas-Hayward were invited to come together to share successes, challenges, and innovative ideas for addressing homelessness across our communities.
 Alameda County Supervisors David Haubert and Elisa Marquez welcomed guests, shared their thoughts, and support at the Fremont Downtown Event Center. 
Q&amp;A offered an engaging opportunity to share perspectives and explore regional work for solutions. The audience reflected representatives from local city management, Alameda County and city staff, local law enforcement, and organizations including Citizens for Better Community, Fremont for Everyone, Abode, Tri-City Interfaith, SAVE, Melino Foundation, Thomas Flemming Tiny Homes, BACS, Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Tri-City Ecology, Move Mountain View, and more. 
Heartfelt Thank-You to the sponsors of Beyond the Bridge screening event in November 2025 and October 2026: Supervisor David Haubert, Supervisor Elisa M&aacute;rquez, Republic Services, Cargill, Citizens for Better Community, Washington Health, Abode Services&nbsp;, and Billy Roys Burgers. 
Thank you to the Tech Crew and community members who participated and continue to work toward collaborative solutions that provide various levels of affordable housing, dignity, and support for our unhoused neighbors.
