Sacramento needs new leadership.The homelessness crisis is out of control, and it's time for real change. I'm running for mayor to deliver solutions: reduce homelessness, protect renters and homeowners, enhance public safety, create quality jobs, and support local businesses. Together, we can build a thriving city for all.
MY STORY My parents were dedicated public school teachers, instilling in me the value of community service. At age 11, I lost my father to heart disease, a preventable tragedy caused by Big Tobacco's deceit. This loss shaped my mission to help families flourish by making government work for the people, not special interests or political insiders.
I've fought to give everyone the chance to live a healthy, prosperous life. At the CA Department of Public Health, I led a coalition that reduced infant mortality by 14%, expanded women's healthcare under the Affordable Care Act, and improved emergency response. As chair of Sacramento's Measure U committee, I pushed the city to spend taxpayer dollars as promised - to reduce homelessness and expand youth services. I'm running because too many voices have been ignored by political insiders.
Kevin McCarty and his big donors are flooding voters with lies. Don't fall for it! He's been a Sacramento politician for TWENTY YEARS as our problems got worse. It's time for real change.
more is Possible
OUR PLAN As a public health professional, I am the candidate best prepared to reduce homelessness. We’ll transition people sleeping in streets and parks to Safe Rest Villages on vacant city-owned lots.We’ll provide trash pickup, showers, and services for mental health and addiction. We'll help them on a path to permanent housing.
To prevent homelessness, we’ll protect tenants and homeowners from eviction and foreclosure. We’ll build attainable housing for every income level and keep our communities safe.
Let’s create a brighter future - where our neighborhoods are connected by great public transit and safe streets to walk and bike, where local businesses thrive and workers earn fair wages. I ask for your vote and pledge to listen, collaborate, and make real change.

"As homelessness surges, gun violence rises, and heat waves intensify, career politicians offer empty promises. Sacramento deserves more. It's time for real change."
As a public health professional, I'm prepared to tackle our homelessness crisis head-on. I will rapidly expand transitional housing by converting city-owned vacant properties and empty lots into Safe Rest Villages- temporary communities with tiny homes, water, trash pickup, plus addiction and mental health services. Working with local partners, we’ll get people off the streets and into safe spaces quickly, supporting them on a path to permanent housing.
I have the experience and drive to make this happen, and together, we can ensure Sacramento is a city where everyone can thrive.
Bold Action for Sacramento's Housing Crisis
Sacramento is facing a housing crisis, and I’m ready to act. My plan includes stronger tenant protections to stop unjust evictions, protecting homeowners from predatory banks to prevent foreclosures, expanding housing options for first-time buyers, and building more affordable homes. By taxing vacant lots, we can generate funds to create new housing and protect our neighborhoods.
Together, we’ll make Sacramento a place where everyone has a home.
Smart Sensible Public Safety
My plan for public safety focuses on preventing violence, reducing traffic accidents, and improving emergency response. I’ll restore funding to youth violence prevention programs, secure resources to make our roads safer, and ensure non-emergency calls are handled by the right professionals so that police can focus on real crimes.
Together, we can create a safer, stronger Sacramento.
Building Sacramento's Economic Future
I’m dedicated to creating high quality jobs and growing local businesses. I’ll work with unions and educational institutions to expand job training programs and build a skilled workforce for Sacramento’s growth. I’ll streamline permitting to make it easier for businesses to thrive, prioritize local investments, and connect entrepreneurs with funding. Working with Sac State to expand their campus, we'll revitalize downtown as a place to live, learn, and enjoy great food and entertainment.
Together, we will build a stronger economy for all.
A More Sustainable Sacramento
The climate crisis is a critical challenge, but it also offers Sacramento an opportunity to build a sustainable future. By transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy, we can create thousands of green jobs and invest in our infrastructure, economy, and community.
As mayor, I will work with residents to implement the Climate Action Plan and achieve zero emissions by 2030. This includes expanding our urban tree plan, improving home and business resilience, building electric vehicle infrastructure, and supporting renewable energy production and storage. I’ll also partner with unions and workforce development groups to create a Green Jobs Incubator, expand free public transit, and ensure our streets are safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
Together, we can turn this crisis into an opportunity, making Sacramento a leader in sustainability and green energy.
Transparent, Inclusive, and Efficient City Governance
Sacramento deserves a City Hall that actively engages with its residents and leverages community expertise. As mayor, I will prioritize transparency and inclusivity by hosting retreats to establish two-year city goals, conducting participatory budgeting, and creating meaningful opportunities for community input on policy decisions. I’ll also implement a comprehensive language access policy, hold monthly town halls, and maintain rotating office hours in each district to ensure consistent communication. Additionally, I will promote socially responsible investments that align with our values of peace, equity, and justice.
Together, we can build a city government that truly serves all Sacramentans.
