We need a fresh voice on the City Council -

A leader with vision who will work to make Fremont a city we can be proud of.

 

Key Issues

Balanced Development - The rapid pace of development in Fremont has brought us overcrowded schools and traffic congestion and is straining our city budget. Yet our City Council continues to encourage huge developments that will make all these problems worse. I advocate creating a plan for Fremont created through true community involvement that will guide our city toward more sustainable growth.

Healthy Local Economy - Independent, locally-owned businesses are an essential part of a vibrant economy. Locally-owned businesses put more money back into the city and create jobs for residents. We must recognize what these businesses contribute and promote a balanced economic development policy that doesn’t create unfair burdens on small businesses.

Pedestrian Friendly Commercial Districts - Our city government does little to support Fremont’s traditional commercial districts. Many smaller cities like Pleasanton, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View have worked to make their commercial districts into a source of pride and tax revenue. Fremont can be more than a bedroom community. We shouldn’t have to leave our city to have an enjoyable and attractive place to spend our free time.

Attention to our Schools - Due to state budget cuts, our schools are struggling to meet our children’s needs with fewer resources. The City Council must ensure that its decisions don’t put more pressure on our school system and must coordinate with the school board to make our schools the best they can be.

Help the Campaign

The future of Fremont depends on people getting involved. As a Councilmember, I will listen to the people, understand their ideas, and truly represent them in our local government.  I will ensure that the people of Fremont have an opportunity to participate in their local government and start making Fremont the best it can be.

Get Involved

This campaign depends on grassroots involvement. Working on the campaign has proven to be both fun and fulfilling.

I am looking for people who want to put up a yard sign, talk to their neighbors, knock on doors, make phone calls, help with events, host a house party, write letters to the editor, distribute fliers, or whatever else you think will help.  Click here to sign up as a volunteer.
