For the past four years I have been honored to represent our community on the Rent Stabilization Board as a pragmatic independent voice and thoughtful decision maker. COVID-19 showed us just how vulnerable too many tenants and homeowners truly are, being only a few missed paychecks away from eviction or foreclosure. No one should face that kind of uncertainty. I am committed to defending affordable housing, improving living conditions and increasing housing opportunities in Berkeley to prevent displacement and provide relief to low-income tenants and homeowners. As Chair of the Rent Board’s Policy Committee, I supported policy to ensure tenants with disabilities can relocate to ground floor apartments and age in place with dignity. As Supervisor Keith Carson’s appointee to the Alameda County Planning Commission, I fight for more truly affordable housing every day. As Chair of the Berkeley Public Works Commission, I led efforts to improve fire safety, repair aging infrastructure, support complete streets and retrofit our Senior and Community Centers. If re-elected, I will strive to make Rent Board advice more accessible, reduce turnaround time for key services, and build a more affordable Berkeley for all of us. I’d be honored to continue to serve the community I love and ask for your vote.
Please donate to support my re-election and a more affordable Berkeley for all of us.
