We need to work together on real issues that matter in our everyday lives.
I want to hear what you have to say and find out what's important to you.
Eight years seem to have flown by. In spite of Operation Metro Surge and other challenges, I think we have gotten a lot accomplished in Roseville. I am beginning my campaign for re-election to the Roseville City Council and I ask for your support and your vote on November 3rd.
These are some of the issues I have worked on and will continue to work on representing you on the Roseville City Council.
Environment and Climate Change: I support clean water, clean air, and establishing a date for zero net carbon in Roseville. We are finishing the Climate Equity Action Plan. The plan sets a goal of zero net carbon by 2050 with specific steps that individuals, businesses and the city can take to accomplish this.
Community Policing: I support ongoing training in racial justice, mental health crisis response, social workers in response teams, and public accountability. To move forward we have embedded social workers in the Community Action Team in the Police Department. The Social Workers have the skills to work with the unhoused, those facing mental health challenges, drug addiction and other life challenges. They can build trust and find out what would be the most appropriate housing that works for each individual.
Transportation: I support improvements to public transit and connectivity of biking and walking paths.
Accessibility: I support universal implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, curb cut improvements, and access for all to play grounds, city parks and all activities.
Youth Protection and Empowerment: I have advocated for and passed bans on youth conversion therapy and the sale of flavored tobacco to youth.
Inclusivity and Equity: I actively promote diverse representation in city hiring and commission appointments.
Transparency in Government: I support transparent government, which offers clear, attentive, and respectful communication with residents.

Neighbors and friends gathered for our campaign kick-off on the patio. I appreciate all of your support.
All Are Welcome in Roseville! We had a gathering to celebrate the beautiful flowering tree in my mother and father-in-law's yard next door to our home. We were a bit delayed due to a thunderstorm. But as friends and neighbors gathered this colorful rainbow appeared reminding us that All Are Welcome in Roseville. What a beauty!
Thank you to Roseville Schools and the staff at Central Park Elementary School for the tour of the addition and upgrades. Good to see the work being done to educate the students. There were some great questions from the elected officials attending - very informative.
You can vote now! Here's a link to your voting options.
I have experience:
BUSINESS
Working as an independent contractor with a major real estate brokerage firm for the past 40 years, I have a unique understanding of the business world from the perspective of an individual business owner and also that of a large business organization.
CITY GOVERNMENT
I am completing my 8th year on the Roseville City Council. Previously, I served on the Planning Commission and the Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion Commission (Equity and Inclusion Commission, now)
HOUSING
With many years of experience in real estate, I know what it takes to create a healthy community: a balanced mix of housing that matches employer and resident needs and the amenities and services (including schools, police, and fire) needed to protect and increase existing property values, while still providing affordable housing in Roseville.
I will focus on:
COMMUNITY
• Promote fair and open government
• Encourage participation by all residents
PARKS, LAKES, AND ENVIRONMENT
• Preserve our award winning parks and recreation areas.
• Manage rain water run-off and protect our watershed
GETTING AROUND ROSEVILLE
• Expand bike routes, paths and trails
• Improve public transportation and reduce traffic congestion
