What we're fighting for

Affordable Housing

I have always been a strong advocate for increasing affordable housing, especially extremely low-income and workforce housing. I believe we should be bold in addressing homelessness with local non-profit partners to meet the housing needs of vulnerable residents. 


Redwood City has been a regional leader in building housing for all income levels, and in the years ahead, we must sharpen our focus on building housing at the deepest levels of affordability, and expand opportunities for home ownership.

Economic Vitality

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, our community has transformed into one of the most dynamic cities on the Peninsula. We are now one of the Bay Area’s major economic engines, and have attracted new businesses, created new jobs, built new housing, and funded resources and programs for families and youth. Investing in each of these categories will increase economic mobility for all residents. 

Community Safety

If Redwood City is to remain an attractive destination to live, work, retire, and play for all ages, community safety must remain a city priority. Law enforcement and first responders serve a necessary role in our community, and we need to ensure they can do their jobs safely and effectively while ensuring that we are respecting the rights and civil liberties of our residents. Both can be accomplished. It’s critical we continue expanding language access and supporting the city’s relationship-building and community policing programs.

Children & Family Services

Redwood City has one of the highest rates of “Medi-Cal births” in the county, and yet several of our public schools have closed in recent years. Families need comprehensive support in the early years of a child’s life, and we need to partner closely across government agencies, libraries, and nonprofits to make resources readily available to residents at all stages of life. Through these types of partnerships, we can help support families who are balancing the high costs of rent, child care, and other living expenses, and set the next generation on the path to a brighter future. 

Transportation & Public Works

Improving the city’s transit infrastructure and implementing safety measures to increase the use of a variety of options so that residents and visitors alike can efficiently and safely travel within Redwood City will be key to sustaining our vibrant city.


We must also focus on projects on our city’s major transit corridors, like the 101/Woodside Interchange, address traffic safety at injury-prone intersections like Middlefield and Woodside, and make improvements in our vulnerable neighborhoods–where a greater number of people depend on walking and biking as a means of transportation or physical recreation.

Sustainability & Climate Resilience

The threat of climate change is a shared problem, and one that requires a shared solution through collaboration with our neighboring communities. Redwood City has made incredible progress by partnering with Peninsula Clean Energy to incentivize the electrification of homes and utilities, and studying a variety of flood protection measures for the over ten miles of our Bay shoreline.


We need to ensure that we invest in our city’s infrastructure and prepare ourselves and our vulnerable neighbors for the impacts of sea-level rise, more intense summer temperatures, and longer wildfire seasons.
