Candidate for
Board Member At-Large; Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District

Since being appointed to the AC Transit Board, I have focused on our budget crisis and doing the work necessary to reduce costs with the least impact on service. Despite these issues, I am optimistic for the future and confident we will get through these difficult times.

I intimately understand that many depend on the bus system for their livelihood, and my duty as a board member is to provide affordable, reliable, and efficient bus service. But, as our community struggles from the lingering effects of the economic crisis, I cannot help but think about how we can serve our community beyond simply providing bus service. How can we better serve that small business that desperately needs help, our local schools that are facing massive budget deficits, or the unemployed? If elected, I will continue making AC Transit a better community partner, committed to helping address the broader problems facing our community.

For all of these reasons, I respectfully ask for your support so that I may continue to serve you.
