Why I'm Running

Half Moon Bay deserves leadership rooted in this community

I've called Half Moon Bay home for over two decades. I've watched our town grow, change, and face real challenges — from housing affordability to protecting the natural beauty that makes this place so special. I believe our city council should reflect the people who live here, not outside interests.

My commitment is simple: listen to residents, make decisions based on evidence and community input, and always put Half Moon Bay first. Whether it's protecting our coastline, supporting our small businesses, or ensuring our neighborhoods remain safe and vibrant — I'm in this for the long haul.
