Community Priorities

Balanced Budget
We are facing a ballot measure that asks residents to raise taxes. While there may be a consensus that everything is fine, I am not entirely convinced that there is no room for improvement. A fresh look at the finances is under progress. More coming!
Community Engagement
Seats going unopposed highlight serious issues. My experience has shown me that there are many barriers that need to be broken to engage diverse voices from the community.
Youth Leadership
Dreaming to make San Ramon a hub of innovation, where youth receive strong motivation to pursue leadership. Inspired by our youth, I created Lead4Earth.org, where young people promote climate leadership and collaborate with peers in various cities to support youth environmental leaders.
Parks and Open Spaces
We have exploited much of our open space, and if left unchecked, we risk becoming a concrete jungle. I have been actively monitoring the City Walk project and similar dense developments where everything is within a 15-minute walk. I will work to ensure that all new developments do not come at the cost of our open space.
Environment and Sustainability
The Infrastructure Bill passed in 2021 by the Biden administration offers many forms of assistance for local governments. I am committed to identifying the best grants available for San Ramon and coordinating with other city leaders to gather their suggestions.
