Other facts

I am an advocate for “Slow and Smart Growth” policies, which are needed to preserve our small-town character. Future development should be gradual and well planned. Our city, however, is facing unsustainable growing debt and conservative measures are need. Raising taxes is not the answer! As a local business woman, I will work collaboratively to find responsible solutions to our budget problems. Over the past 5 years, I have been a leader of open space and ridge-line protection, leading the way to the passage of the two strict preservation measures; both were overwhelmingly approved by city voters. I am a member of the Pleasanton’s Eastside Specific Plan-Task Force; plus a volunteer for the Pleasanton Heritage Assoc., Valley Humane Society, RAGE Soccer and our schools. I have the time and the passion to be a leader that listens and represents the people of Pleasanton.
