 Santa Cruz County has been my family's home for three generations. I'm committed to helping our community overcome impossible housing costs, stifling traffic, and appalling suffering among the homeless, so that this remains a great place to live. I'm motivated by the climate crisis, and have dedicated my career to building political will through community engagement and new solutions. After graduating from Stanford University, I founded a company enabling anyone to propose new policy and vote online. As Executive Director of Santa Cruz County Greenway, I've advocated tirelessly for bike and pedestrian safety, building a trail in the rail corridor, and using our tax dollars wisely. Having served on the board of directors for my own business, as well as that of Digital Nest, and the City of Santa Cruz's downtown commission, I understand the importance of proactively setting the agenda. I will set the agenda to serve you by helping first-time home buyers building affordable housing, improving public transit, installing protected bike lanes, reducing needle litter, and getting vulnerable people off of the streets and into places where they can heal. Together, we'll make our county government transparent, responsive, and effective. I'd be honored by your vote.
