FINDING SOLUTIONS TOGETHER

I have proudly called Emeryville home for 16 years and was honored to be unanimously appointed to the City Council on February 21, 2023. Since my appointment, I've championed key initiatives to enhance our city's environment, infrastructure, and public safety.

​

To improve our environment, I voted to allocate $1 million for tree planting, banned turf installation in new developments to support pollinators and increase biodiversity, banned the use of gas-powered leaf blowers, and advanced the electrification of city vehicles. I also facilitated the installation of electric vehicle chargers in city parking lots for employees and supported improvements on Hollis Street to bolster public transit and pedestrian access.

 

To promote wellness, I supported updates to the smoking pollution control ordinance. To enhance our community's quality of life, I advocated to allocate a portion of a $575,000 pro-housing accessibility grant to pre-ADA multi-unit dwellings, voted to explore rent stabilization, and backed public arts initiatives. For public safety, I supported the responsible use of license plate readers, ensured our police department is fully staffed and equipped, and identified grants to strengthen Fire Department services.

 

It is a privilege to serve Emeryville as a Councilmember. If re-elected, I will continue to prioritize smart growth, enhance our quality of life, and preserve the unique character of our city, known for art and innovation.
