Name: Jennifer H. Finetti
Age: 39
Occupation: Local Business Owner

I have been a Bay Area resident for most of my life, and currently live here in Discovery Bay in the Lakes Community. When my husband and I first came to Discovery Bay, we knew we had found our home.

Discovery Bay was exactly what we were seeking - a safe, family neighborhood with a small-town atmosphere where we could raise our two children. But we also recognize that continuous improvements are needed to truly realize the potential of our community.

I will work to:

  • Improve the partnership between the CSD and the School District to ensure the best possible facilities are brought forward for our children;
  • Construct the proposed Community Center and establish artistic, cultural and recreation programs in Discovery Bay;
  • Develop Bixler Business Park and improve existing retail centers, attracting employment opportunities and homeowners while also returning tax dollars to our community;
  • Improve safety in our community by increasing police patrols and bolstering crime prevention programs;
  • Continue enhancements to Vasco Road and Highway 4, ensuring working parents get home safely to their families;
  • Protect Delta waterways and beautify parks & open space;
  • Require developers to pay their fair share;
  • Increase accountability to the community;
  • Improve communication with constituents via interactive and print media to ensure transparency between the CSD and those it represents;
  • Achieve an enhanced quality of life for all Discovery Bay residents

Qualifications:

  • Business Owner/Managing Director of a Marketing Agency
  • 10 years experience in education and workforce development
  • Leadership demonstrated through facilitation of intra-agency collaboratives comprised of business, government, schools and non-profit organizations
  • Legacy of volunteer service and community action that has been honored with awards from 3 Bay Area counties as well as the organizations served
  • Master of Arts, Counseling Psychology
  • Bachelor of Arts, Psychology - Concentration: Legal Studies

Together, we can help Discovery Bay realize its full potential. To find out how you can support these efforts, visit http://www.jenniferfinetti.com.
