Re-elect David to make Emeryville a leader on safety, transportation and housing.
A thriving community is a safe community
I want nothing more than to watch my kids bike fearlessly down the Emeryville Greenway and other city streets. A walkable, bikable and vibrant city relies on proper infrastructure to ensure people feel safe around the city. This includes protected bike lanes, wide sidewalks, adequate lighting and robust city services to ensure a safe city with a high quality of life.
A safe city also means protecting our city from ICE and other threats. As Mayor of Emeryville, I supported legal action against the Trump administration for targeting Emeryville as a Sanctuary City.
Support small business and local workers
Our local restaurants, bars, cafes and art galleries are the heart of our community. When our businesses thrive they hire more workers and these workers benefit from Emeryville’s high wages and labor protection laws. Parklets and sidewalk dining make for a vibrant city and should be encouraged. The city should be responsive to the needs of businesses and partner with them to improve the surrounding neighborhoods.
Build to improve our community
The Bay Area is in the midst of a housing affordability crisis. As we build we can enrich our community by attracting more families, expanding parks, and connecting bike and pedestrian paths. Let’s make Emeryville a model for the rest of the Bay Area by making housing abundant and creating a sustainable and connected community.
I supported Emeryville’s application to become a Pro Housing City and I'm proud that we were one of the first cities in the Bay Area to receive this designation from the State of California.
