I lift people up."

 

Having earned a degree in Neurobiology, I spent 3-4 hours per day, 5-6 days per week educating my daughter since kindergarten. And, because of that support, today, despite her learning disabilities, my daughter is in college pursuing a double major in Psychology and Spanish.

​

I knew I was not the only person who had to stand up to an unresponsive healthcare and education system and dedicated my life, not only to helping my daughter, but to helping families like mine have a better future.

​

As an educator and scientist, I continued to broaden the scope of my activism. I am a Founding Executive Board Member of a nonprofit focused on women’s reproductive health and education, as well as a fund that provides protections for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities being cared for in day programs. I'm a former Vice President and Director of the Dublin San Ramon Services (water) District and a current San Ramon City Councilmember where I helped establish the first ever Climate Action Task Force charged with informing our City's Climate Action Plan and with chartering a Sustainability Committee.

​

I am running for State Senate because Californians deserve a State Senator who has:

 

• The integrity to deliver on their promises and to uphold our values and communities' interests first.

• The intersectional personal, professional, and political experience to effectively address our most complex climate and socioeconomic issues, and

• The accountability to be transparent and maintain an open line of communication with our constituents.

​

You will not have a more tenacious and dedicated representative in Sacramento.

​

This is why my daughter is now a long-term cancer survivor and a college student. 

​

And this is why I am asking for your vote by November 5th!

​

Gratefully,
