Candidate for
Council Member; City of Cotati

The City of Cotati is at a crossroads. The decisions we make for our city will result in permanent changes which will affect all of us in profound ways; traffic, water scarcity, pollution, and noise.

I am uniquely qualified to meet the challenges facing our city. I have over twelve years of combined experience working in the areas of direct hands-on farming, development, agricultural advocacy, cultural resource preservation, and biological sciences. I understand the importance of intelligent, sustainable development which protects non-renewable natural resources and fosters a healthy local economy. Locally owned businesses, with local interests, are important assets which strengthen our city.

Too often I've seen the results of carelessly planned formula development which can result in long-term issues that are difficult to resolve. In my neighborhood, noise and congestion continue to increase. Working with the city council, I will find solutions for quiet, walkable neighborhoods where our children and elders are safe.

As your representative, I will protect the most vulnerable of our citizenry; elders, disabled, and youngsters. I will work for a Cotati that is fiscally sound, ethically led, socially responsible, and environmentally conscious. I respectfully ask for your vote.
