Candidate for
Supervisor; County of Alameda; Supervisorial District 2

I was unanimously appointed by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to serve following my predecessor's resignation, an honor I accepted to restore accountability, service and integrity to this office. As a life-long resident of Alameda County and former Vice Mayor of Union City, nothing is more important to me than listening to your concerns, being accessible and serving your needs as your County Supervisor.

I'm the founder of California's largest nonprofit recycling organization, creating hundreds of jobs for local youth and the South County workforce. As a War Veteran, I understand the unique challenges that many of us face in difficult times and the healthcare, job training, and multi-generational family services we need. I have a proven track record of strong fiscal management, job creation, supporting our youth, economy, and healthcare needs. I'm continuing the fight to save St. Rose Hospital and make our communities safer!
