Sonoma County Republican Party endorsed my opponent, I'm a lifelong Democrat.
Many District 4 voters still don’t know there is only one Democrat in this race. The Republican Party has endorsed my opponent.
I need your help to tell them, now.
This race comes down to real differences:
Land use. I’ll defend our urban growth boundaries, community separators, and farmland, and keep growth inside our cities, where it uses less water and infrastructure.
Our environment. I’ll protect the Russian River, stand against renewed gravel mining, and expand park and river access in north county.
Working families. My opponent focuses on cutting red tape for housing. I start with wages that haven’t kept up with costs, protecting residents from Trump's budget cuts, and protecting our immigrant neighbors from ICE.
I'm the only Democratic candidate running to represent the people of District 4 on the Board of Supervisors. I'm a proud Democrat. I've spoken out against ICE's lawless tactics under the Trump administration. As Supervisor, I'll keep fighting for Sonoma County residents and against the Trump agenda.My opponent lists his party as No Party Preference. But the party of Donald Trump clearly prefers him.
Our campaign is built around a broad coalition and grassroots support, not corporate PAC money.Here's how you can get involved
1. Give, especially if you haven't yet.
Every new donor shows this campaign belongs to the people of North County, not corporate interests.Our campaign will use your contribution of $25, $50, $150, $500 to get our message out to voters in this critical time.
Already given? Thank you. If you can, consider giving up to the limit of $3,800 per person.

2. Knock doors, even once.

Many vs. few: who's funding this race?
Here's where we stand
This summer, 129 people made 172 contributions to our campaign. More than 91% of our money came from individuals, where 81% of my opponent's money came from organizations. Our five largest donors accounted for about 22%, and the rest came from neighbors in Cloverdale, Healdsburg, Windsor, Geyserville, Santa Rosa and across Sonoma County, giving what they could, investing a little of themselves into this campaign.

Geyserville Station Is Another Step Toward a Connected North County
SMART’s decision to add a future Geyserville station to its program is welcome news for a community that has waited nearly 70 years for the return of passenger rail, and it is another important step toward the regional transportation system North Sonoma County deserves.For me, this issue is personal. During my years on the Cloverdale City Council, I represented North County on regional transportation boards, including serving as Vice Chair of both the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit Board and the Sonoma County Transportation Authority/Regional Climate Protection Authority.
That experience reinforced something I have believed throughout my public service: transportation does not stop at city limits. Where people live, where they work, where they go to school, and where they receive health care are often in different communities. We need to plan accordingly.
That is why I have consistently supported completing SMART north to Cloverdale, expanding bicycle and pedestrian connections, improving bus service, and solving the “last-mile” problem that too often keeps people from using public transportation even when a rail or bus line is nearby.
The proposed Geyserville station fits directly into that vision.
