Last night I called to offer my congratulations to mayor-elect Kevin McCarty. We had the first of many very forthright conversations about the future of Sacramento.
While I wished the outcome of the election was different, I want to take this moment to reflect on the movement we've built over the past 20 months. We proved that Sacramento believes that more is possible. We proved that Sacramento is a city filled with people who want effective solutions without compromising our compassion. We proved that there is viability and popularity in running a people-powered campaign without taking corporate contributions. We lived out our values by focusing on the vision for Sacramento and not maligning our opponents in the primary or general elections. We led with love and had a great time doing it.
The energy was palpable. People got involved who were never involved in a campaign or didn’t see themselves as “political”. We had conversations where people disagreed, listened, and learned from each other. We told a different story about Sacramento as a place where people care and where we can work together to create a future where we all thrive together.
I want to thank the thousands of active supporters who injected energy, enthusiasm and excitement as WE ran for mayor. I want to thank my small, but mighty staff for being the little engine that could and raising money that defied expectation. I want to thank the endorsers that saw a first time candidate and got behind someone who was not a career politician because they wanted to see change. And I want to thank the 94,491 voters and counting who said yes to a city with transformed public safety, effective homelessness solutions, affordable housing, a thriving arts community, a commitment to economic development all while aggressively combatting climate change.
We have a responsibility to stay involved and carry our vision forward. I am committed to supporting this new administration because their success is our success. Together we will collaborate, advocate, and hold leadership accountable to ensure Sacramento becomes a city where everyone thrives. WE ran for mayor. Now WE govern together.
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.
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.

Our campaign is people-powered and grassroots funded. Join us to create a better future for Sacramento.
Together we can build a city that works for all of us.
