Candidate for
Board Member; Sonoma Valley Health Care District

I am running for a seat on the Sonoma Valley Health Care District Board because nothing is more important to our Valley than saving our hospital.

If elected, I will be a voice of the community on the board. As a financial consultant, the fiscal health and sustainability of our hospital will be my highest priority. I will continue to listen to every perspective and make common sense decisions with the best interests of our community in mind.

As Treasurer of the No on C Committee, I worked hard to defeat a measure which was too expensive and which used eminent domain. I refused to listen to the doomsday scenarios and knew there was another solution. Going forward, it is important for all of us to come together, regardless of where we stood on Measure C, and find a proposal our community can support.

From the very beginning, a local hospital and the services it provides are important to me. I was born in a hospital which is now Bartholomew Park Winery. Both my children were delivered at Sonoma Valley Hospital. Simply, our hospital is a vital part of our community's fabric and must be preserved. With your vote, I'll help make sure that happens.
