VOTE ON NOVEMBER 3

for city council

i love sausalito

For the past three years, I've served this town full-time as a volunteer. Before that, over 20 years leading teams and managing multimillion-dollar budgets in technology.

Sausalito deserves a council that asks "how do we make this work?" instead of "how do we stop this?"

Common sense. Real results.

What I’ll Focus On

I believe in a city council that finds a way, not one that finds a reason to say no. Here's where I'll focus first.

  • Unfreeze Our Waterfront

    • Frozen since 1985. Measure X — the AIM Initiative — is our first real shot in 40 years to unfreeze the Marinship, create jobs, and fund infrastructure without touching historic downtown or raising taxes. I helped draft it, and Sausalito showed up: over 1,000 signatures in 10 days, nearly double what we needed to qualify for the November ballot.

  • Fix Our Infrastructure

    • Roughly $50 million in deferred building maintenance — crumbling streets, aging sewer, flooding docks — and years of budget surpluses that haven't gone toward fixing it. Time to fix what's broken before it costs us more.

  • ‍Revitalize Our Downtown

    • Empty storefronts. Outdated rules. Permits that drag on for months. When we listen to our community and support our merchants instead of burying them in red tape, we get things done that actually work for Sausalito. The Business Improvement District shows what's possible when the city and local businesses pull in the same direction.

  • What it adds up to

    • Four decades of deferred decisions cost us: $50 million in deferred infrastructure costs, a waterfront frozen since 1985, businesses buried under red tape. But Sausalito has the resources to turn this around without raising taxes. Measure X unlocks new revenue from Marinship development that's been underutilized for 40 years. Modernizing outdated codes to be less confusing and conflicting clears the way for projects that actually make sense for Sausalito. Fix infrastructure, grow our economy, support our merchants — all funded through smart growth, not higher taxes. That's what good governance looks like.
