Santa Barbara County has been my home for 25 years. I have raised my three sons here and participated in many volunteer and paid activities in both Goleta and the Santa Ynez Valley to improve our schools, our neighborhoods, our cities and our beautiful County. I am committed to preserving the wonderful quality of life we enjoy here.

As a past member of the County Planning Commission and as a consultant to the City of Goleta, I have an extensive background in working successfully with city and county residents on many important land use issues. My experience has taught me to highly value and always advocate for an open public process that encourages citizen involvement.

I have the experience, energy, and ability to best represent the residents of the 3rd District and would consider it a great honor to be elected Supervisor.
