“I’m committed to moving our city forward through delivering on these Core Priorities to build a stronger and more resilient San Leandro.”
Vision & Mission
Get San Leandro back on track to be a place where we can work, live and play. Fixing our roads and infrastructure will attract best-in-class services and investors that will make San Leandro the best place to live in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area. Enhancing and leveraging our industrial zones to bring more local jobs so that the San Leandro workforce will have more family time instead of commute time.
Working for State Water Resources has taught me the vital importance of getting the job done timely within budget on projects and programs. San Leandrans deserve a vibrant economy so I will use my infrastructure policy experience to get us there. This is my commitment!
