Read moreMy grandparents purchased their Menlo Park home in the 1950s, and my mother attended Menlo Park public schools. In 1996, my husband and I purchased our home in Menlo Park, and our children also attend Menlo Park public schools. I have had my own law practice in the County for 16 years. Proven Track Record – I have over 14 years of civic service, including 6 years on the Menlo Park Planning Commission. I was appointed to the Planning Commission in 2004 by Jellins, Duboc and Winkler, and reappointed in 2008 by Fergusson, Cline and Robinson. I make decisions based on principles that benefit the entire community. I have worked with fellow Commissioners on difficult issues, striving for a fact-oriented and fair outcome. Responsible Growth – We need to revitalize the downtown area to eliminate the blight on El Camino. We should encourage appropriate development projects that will produce new sources of revenue and jobs, without damaging the character of our city. Fiscal Responsibility – We must balance the budget by cutting spending. I support Measure L, Pension Reform, as a way to cut back on unsustainable pension obligations. Strong Leadership – I will work tirelessly to protect the interests of Menlo Park residents regarding high speed rail issues.
