Many thanks to the voters and contributors who supported me in 2006. I missed being elected by 296 votes and have been urged to run again and win in 2008.

Since 2006, I have broadened my experience and service to the community and am now Chair of the Environmental Planning Commission. I have extended my community service work also, serving on several advisory councils and supporting trail and other environmental organizations.

I have lived in Mountain View for 33 years and been very active in the community since 1999. I'm running again for City Council to maintain high-quality city services and judiciously manage the city budget for Mountain View residents.

My background as a city commissioner for nearly seven years and working in engineering and project management qualify me to oversee municipal operations, public safety, civil infrastructure, planning and development and city finances. I have been an active city volunteer, mediator, and regularly participate in habitat restoration and trail work.

I have worked with many sports and recreation groups and residents regarding yard trees, playground design, and expanding and preserving park space. As a planning commissioner, I have analyzed and investigated zoning changes and environmental impact for major developments; e.g., South Whisman and transit oriented developments to revitalize older industrial areas.

I will advocate housing strategies that serve the greatest number of those in need of quality market rate and affordable housing, and planning and review processes that provide good housing compatible with neighborhoods and infrastructure.

I will continue my volunteer ethic supporting community, social service, environmental and sports organizations.

I will continue to improve Mountain View's quality of life and keep our town a great place to do business, live and raise a family.
