As Mayor up for re-election, I intend to keep bringing energy to Marina that helps families, businesses, and the environment.

Why am I running again:

  1. Because I don't want to stop running around until I can find my head.
  2. To continue bringing some zip to Marina and making it more fun especially for 16-30 year olds which in turn will help our economy and make Marina more fun for all ages.
  3. To continue progress toward making the budget more understandable and fiscally responsible.
  4. To continue to bring a positive image about Marina to the rest of the surrounding region.
  5. To continue inspiring people of all perspectives to share their input at city council meetings.
  6. To continue supporting downtown businesses with promotional efforts such as the recent US Open banner program and the business passport program which debuted at the July 4th Street Fair.
  7. To continue making progress toward rapid transit coming to Marina to help modernize our downtown and attract millions of dollars of private transit oriented development.
  8. To keep the door open to mobile home rent stabilization, and CSUMB east campus annexation.
  9. Make more progress toward integrating Marina with CSUMB and becoming more of a university town as a vision for our economic and social future.
  10. Because I love Marina and I think I can help families and businesses in Marina most as Mayor.
