Priorities
Economic Development
The pandemic has had devastating effects on our local economy. I will work collaboratively to find ways to support small business and ensure a timely economic recovery.
Public Safety
We need to ensure our partnerships with the San Mateo County Sheriffs Office and the Redwood City Fire Department continue to be collaborative and forward-thinking, and that we are always considering public health and disaster preparedness best-practices.
Housing
Our region still faces a deficit of housing, especially for those in lower income brackets. We need to ensure our teachers, laborers and first responders can afford to live in the communities in which they work. This is vital to the health and safety of our community.
Traffic and Infrastructure
There is much to do to continue the work of taking cars off the roads, improving walkability and connectivity to transit. These are long term, regional changes which require placing housing near jobs and transit, encouraging alternative modes of transportation and actively engaging in this important regional discussion.
Childcare
Access to affordable childcare has been a longstanding challenge and with the advent of COVID-19 it has become even more pressing. City leadership must work with community organizations, property owners and non-profits to come up with creative solutions to fill this gap quickly.
