Candidate for
Member, City Council; City of Rolling Hills Estates

I am admittedly an unconventional candidate, because my desire to run for City Council comes from the heart, not from any "career goal" or desire to move myself forward professionally. I grew up in Rolling Hills Estates, my father was once city manager of RHE, and I raised my kids in the home I grew up in. I have been HOA president, have served for two years on the City's Environmental Advisory Committee, and attend most City Council meetings because I am interested in how the political process works and I feel compelled to learn about projects that are submitted to the Council. I am very vocal about things like losing the semi-rural atmosphere of RHE, of too much development, and of losing iconic mature trees and things that define our city, like stables and equestrian trails, and our retail spaces. Because of my long history here, I have a real sense of what works and what doesn't in RHE, and for the past decade I have made myself available most Tuesday Council meeting nights to share my opinions and to voice the concerns of my neighbors as well.
