A Record of Results. A Vision for the Future.
My campaign is rooted in experience and guided by community values. I’m running to deliver results that reflect what matters most: safety, stability, and pride in where we live. Together, let’s build a safe, affordable, and thriving San José for everyone.
Public Safety: Protecting Every Neighborhood.
A safe city is the foundation of a thriving one. My top priority is strengthening public safety through collaboration, accountability, and prevention. That means supporting our police, firefighters, and first responders with the tools and staffing they need to keep themselves and our neighborhoods safe.
True safety also means safer streets, better mental health crisis response, and neighborhoods where families, seniors, and small businesses feel secure and supported.
Housing & Homelessness: Delivering Real Results.
I’m focused on lasting, compassionate solutions to homelessness through stronger partnerships, mental health and addiction services, and clear accountability. Working with our District 9 neighbors, I helped deliver the Cherry Emergency Interim Housing development, which will provide housing for up to 400 individuals experiencing homelessness.
We must also expand our housing options, from affordable to middle-income and market-rate housing. We need to support first-time homebuyers and make it possible for teachers, seniors, and working families to stay in the communities they know and love.
Quality of Life: Driven Solutions for a Clean, Vibrant San José.
Quality of life defines who we are as a city. I’m committed to clean, green, and connected neighborhoods where residents take pride in their surroundings. That means investing in parks, street maintenance, and litter removal while supporting small businesses and community events that bring people together.
Through data-driven, community-centered action, we can create a San José that’s cleaner, healthier, and more vibrant for everyone.
Steady Leadership
