I am running for the Marina City Council because of my profound desire to serve the residents and businesses of the City of Marina.

As we face challenges in our growing city, I will work hard to develop innovative ideas and programs for Marina that balance housing with diversified jobs, new development with revitalization of existing businesses and housing, while emphasizing the importance of balancing our budget and maintaining appropriate reserves for unforeseen emergencies.

Now, we can move forward together on the issues that matter to our community

• Balancing our City’s budget in this period of economic challenge
• Revitalizing our Downtown in ways that support our businesses
• Ensuring that our City government is accountable and open at all levels to public scrutiny, the hallmark of democracy, and that our citizen’s input is welcomed and respected
• Economic growth that creates a diversity of jobs, in partnership with smart and sustainable growth
