I want Millbrae to remain the safe city that it was when I grew up here.

As a city we have two priorities for safety: community safety and infrastructure safety. It's vital that our solutions are rooted in fairness and designed to protect all residents, regardless of their neighborhood or background. I am committed to working with the sheriff to implement community policing efforts, active relationships between residents and the sheriff, increasing lighting in high-risk areas, and providing educational resources on vehicle safety, we can create a safer, more inclusive Millbrae.

For infrastructure, it's high time we repair and enhance our roads, and build more sidewalks. Safer roads and sidewalks assist in recreation, but also in accessibility to our seniors and disabled community members.

I will work to reimagine and invigorate downtown Millbrae. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where families can gather, explore, and enjoy a variety of activities without needing to leave our city. This includes attracting and supporting new restaurants, unique boutiques, and entertainment options that cater to all ages.

I believe that by fostering a thriving downtown, we can inspire businesses to choose Millbrae as their location of choice, ensuring that our residents have ample opportunities to shop, dine, and enjoy themselves right here in our own community. By encouraging local investment and creating spaces where families can connect and relax, we will not only enhance the quality of life for our residents but also make Millbrae a sought-after destination for visitors.

Supporting our education system from the community to the classroom.

Families in Millbrae are dedicated to providing their children with the best lives possible. It’s crucial that they have a strong advocate ensuring their schools are equally supported. I am committed to utilizing the full authority of the City Council to secure educational funding programs that enrich the lives of our youth. Additionally, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our schools offer a safe environment with enough traffic cones, working with the school board for disaster preparedness, and to foster a greater relationship with the community by working with Capuchino High School on making their pool open to the community after school hours.

Mutual aid programs with schools such as food drives, clothing drives, and lawyer consultations free of charge, are also my priorities. The schools across our district act as community hubs for many of us in Millbrae. Mutual aid programs are a key part of how we build systems that provide support at these hubs to make us all better off and keep us safe and happy.

Millbrae’s resources need to be targeted where the most need is required.

Compared to other cities in our county, Millbrae is doing well budgetary wise. I will work to maintain this, and give credit to our city for maintaining our fiscal responsibility. While the city council and county need to work more closely together to ensure all necessary services are provided in Millbrae, it is crucial that the city's limited funds are used as effectively as possible. These funds must be allocated to areas where the community's needs are greatest, such as to our sidewalks and roads, as well as having local bussing for our residents.

Addressing climate change and implementing effective environmental policies are priorities in my campaign.

I am dedicated to introducing practical and impactful solutions that Millbrae can adopt to play a significant role in combating climate change. My vision is to build a community that embraces sustainability, reduces its carbon footprint, and serves as a model for surrounding cities. My goal is to enact policies such as community solar programs, allowing residents to participate in renewable energy generation even if they cannot install panels on their own property. I plan to launch an urban tree planting campaign to improve air quality and enhance local biodiversity. Additionally, I am committed to developing climate education and outreach programs that will empower residents with the knowledge and tools to live more sustainably. Through these initiatives, I aim to create a healthier, more resilient Millbrae for all residents.  

I am committed to ensuring that Millbrae residents have a voice in decisions affecting our community. Our relationship with the county has been impacted, but a strong working relationship with the county is essential for our city's success. The county is a valuable source of funding for various initiatives and projects within Millbrae. To prevent situations like the La Quinta surprise from happening again, we need a leader who can rebuild that collaboration. 

I am committed to being the leader who can restore those relationships and bridge the gap between the county and Millbrae.

Our seniors receiving the care and services they deserve is crucial for maintaining the heart and soul of Millbrae. Together we'll work towards local public transportation within the city, accessible outreach keeping all seniors informed about updates in the city, and providing our seniors the city services they qualify for.

As a city councilmember, I will hold monthly office hours, allowing constituents to discuss and provide input on funding priorities. The community knows best what is needed, and they will be in the driver's seat. This is to ensure our voice are heard, which hasn't been happening the past couple of years.

Working With Our Unions to Provide Workforce development programs

The unions in our district must always have a seat at the table as they're fighting for better pay and working conditions for our neighbors. The fight that they’re waging is one that we should be uplifting and defending at every turn. I know that to help working families and young families, we need to work with unions - giving them a seat at the table and assisting the workers they represent to organize for the protections they deserve. This will help bolster the middle class and create an economically vibrant city.

Unions also provide invaluable opportunities for young individuals by equipping them with essential skills, mentorship, and resources. We must foster these programs so youth can pursue fulfilling career paths if they so choose.
