Sunnyvale is a wonderful city to live in, and I would like to keep it that way. I feel that the City Councils of the past twenty years have done a wonderful job of balancing the needs of business and the community to produce a safe, prosperous, and livable place for us. I want to follow that lead and preserve the essential character of the City as we move into the 21st century. Living in the middle of Silicon Valley means living and coping with constant change. We need to work hard to make sure that the changes that take place are good ones for all concerned, and that the quality of life we enjoy is protected. I'm committed to doing so.
