Candidate for
Council Member; City of San Jose; Council District 10

Create Jobs: Job creation must be our top priority. Our city must invest in entrepreneurship and ease restrictions on the small businesses that are the backbone of our economy. With millions of dollars in infrastructure projects on the horizon, we must work to maximize this opportunity and create a pathway to a strong and sustainable economic recovery for our city.

Craft a Sustainable Budget: We must reevaluate how the City spends our tax dollars and work to craft a sustainable budget that addresses the needs of all our residents. Our elected representatives must work together and bring community, labor and business leaders to the table, as these decisions affect all of us. Fiscal sustainability can only be achieved through collaboration and compromise, not through political stalemate.

Improve Neighborhood Services: San Jose residents expect their government to deliver basic services efficiently. We want safe, clean communities, smooth roads, bike lanes, accessible parks, and a top-notch education system.

We need to conduct a thorough review of all city departments and engage in transparent discussion about how to streamline and improve city services. We must embrace the latest technologies to make delivery of basic services.
