Top Priorities if Elected |   
- Balance the Budget: We must collaboratively address our structural deficit with all stakeholders at the table making tough and transparent decisions.
 - Economic Development: With the  devastating demise of Redevelopment Agencies, we must create an economic development fund  for cities to access.
 - Pension Reform: I will fight for reform ensuring a sound and fair financial future for both our residents and our County employees.

- My Stance on Issues Facing San Mateo County Residents
 - 
Transparency and openness begin with one's own campaign. Below are my positions and thoughts on some of the weightier issues facing our County. As I have done on the East Palo Alto City Council, my positions are never dogmatic, but open to criticism, discussion and reformulation based on vigorous and sound debate.
