“Two things light my world: my family and the call of public service. The mission of being a public servant, working relentlessly each day to deliver for our community, is a tremendous privilege.

“My focus: fight for a quality of life where our children learn and grow safely, our businesses and economy can flourish, and our families can achieve upward mobility.

“Our North Coast represents one of the most beautiful and vibrant regions of the world. We must protect it. Climate change has confronted us with fire, flood, and drought, and a lack of focused leadership has produced an upside-down economy.

“I see these challenges as an opportunity to rise above these disasters and divisiveness to manifest a more just, healthy and prosperous future for all. I believe in the power of ‘we,’ relentless effort to find solutions through collaboration, and building a future our kids will proudly carry forward.”
