About
I am thrilled to officially announce my candidacy for Santa Clara City Council, District #1. With a robust career spanning 25 years in the IT industry and more than a decade as a proud resident of Santa Clara, I am dedicated to using my experience to serve our vibrant community.
My journey in Santa Clara has been shaped by a deep commitment to community service and meaningful engagement. Currently, I proudly serve on the Chief Advisory Committee Board at the Santa Clara Police Department, where I collaborate on initiatives to enhance public safety and foster community unity. Beyond law enforcement, I am actively involved with esteemed non-profit organizations such as DCSCO (Don Callejon) Santa Clara School, the Sankara Eye Foundation, and KA-BOOM, contributing to education, healthcare, and recreational opportunities for our youth.
I also had the honor of representing Santa Clara City (District #1) on the Charter Review Committee, advocating strongly for our residents' right to elect our Police Chief. My efforts were instrumental in preventing unnecessary expenditure of taxpayer funds, saving over half a million dollars that would have been spent on a special ballot measure. The overwhelming support from our community, with over 72% in agreement, reaffirmed the importance of this decision for our city's future.
As former President of the Toscana Rivermark community association, I have a proven track record of effective leadership and community development. I am humbled to have received endorsements from esteemed figures such as the Police Officers Association (SCPD), Mayor Lisa Gillmor, Councilmember Kathy Watanabe, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, as well as Mayors Carmen Montano of Milpitas and Lily Mei of Fremont. Their support underscores our shared vision for a prosperous and inclusive Santa Clara.
Driven by a commitment to transparency, collaboration, and tangible results, I am eager to tackle the challenges facing our city alongside you. Together, we can build a future where every Santa Clara resident thrives.
I look forward to engaging with each of you and discussing how, together, we can continue to make Santa Clara an even better place to live, work, and raise our families.
