Have you heard of that saying "Be the change you want to see in the world"? That's something I often think about, and something that motivates me to participate, whether it's volunteering in my community, or helping others, or running for office. Ever since my youth, I've been interested in news and current events, from things that happen in my local community to major events at the national and world stage. I see things that I wish were different about our world and, to be honest, I wish someone else would go and fix everything so that I can live my life without worrying for the future. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that watching passively from the sidelines and "waiting for someone else" isn't going to change anything. Maybe it's up to me, you, and all of us to be that "someone" to bring that change we want for our world. That's why I get involved.
Development projects bring in more money! We also get more businesses, good-paying jobs, housing options and facilities – all here in our neighborhood. And if we do it right, we can build character, too – Downtown Dublin, anyone?
Dublin is still growing, but projected to reach full build-out by 2040. This means we need other ways of generating income to avoid a looming deficit. I'll keep our budget healthy with smart choices to make money and save money.
Homes are expensive in the Bay Area, but did you know that Dublin has initiatives like below-market-rate homes for sale and rent, as well as first-time homebuyer loans? I'll support ways to make housing more affordable for more of us.
Dublin is one of the safest cities in the region, and I want to keep it that way. That means continuing to support our police, fire department, and community programs with the resources we need to keep everyone safe.
New transportation projects and upgrades like the Dublin Blvd extension, Village Pkwy reconstruction, and Tassajara Rd widening help keep our quality of life high. I'll support ways to cut what nobody wants: traffic jams and bad roads.
Have questions or suggestions? I would love to hear from you!
