My Top 3 Priorities

  • Strengthen the Democratic Party to STOP Trump and Keep the White House blue by registering voters and getting out the vote on election day.
  • Advocate affordable and market rate housing in our downtown and transit corridors to keep our East Bay communities diverse and vital.
  • Promote early childhood education --a smart investment in our children-- and promote multi-skilled workforce training to give apprentices and community college graduates have a wide skill base for long term success.
