My Top 3 Priorities
- Public Safety: I will work with our police officers and diverse community leaders to find safety solutions that meet neighborhood needs and align with community values.
- Economic Expansion & Inclusion: I’ll work to foster an environment of greater economic investment from the ground up, support small businesses, especially young entrepreneurs and expand workforce readiness, so good jobs go to those most in need.
- Connectivity. I want to connect our neighborhoods in a more meaningful way – from activities in parks to how we get around town, and improve the walkability and bike-ability and the wellbeing of the people that live in our neighborhoods.

Questions & Answers
Questions from League of Women Voters of Sacramento County (3)
When 3 or more candidates run, Ranked Choice Voting would provide a majority winner in a November election eliminating the need for runoff elections.
Is this something you would support for the City of Sacramento?
Would you support putting this question to voters?
Answer from Tamiko Heim:
I think it could be an option to consider.
Would you support placing a measure before the voters to amend the City Charter to make permanent the Ethics Commission and to ensure that the
Commission has at least one dedicated staffer who reports directly to the Commission?
Answer from Tamiko Heim:
Any commission in which the City appoints members of the public to make recommendations to the Council should have dedicated staff. Serving on the City's Active Transportation Commission, staff work with our commissioners to make sure we have the information we need to discuss issues before us. The Ethics Commission serves an important role - its organization, duties, and powers established in City Code.
The City of Sacramento's campaign finance ordinance establishes a campaign public financing program; however, that Program has not been funded for over a decade.
Would you support reforming and funding a public financing program for future city elections?
Answer from Tamiko Heim:
Possibly, depending on the funding source and priorities.
