Beautify Newark

Improve parks and facilities throughout the city to benefit everyone. Our parks have been neglected for decades, and it's time for modern improvements that serve all residents. We need playgrounds that every child, regardless of ability, can enjoy. 

Collaborate with the Newark Unified School District to improve education. The city government can and should offer more support to our schools. 

Expand library hours. It's the best library in the County and should be more accessible to everyone in the community. 

Equip the police force and Fire Department with the necessary resources, training, and technology to engage effectively with the community and maintain public safety.

Attract higher-paying jobs and expand apprenticeship programs. 

Advocate for smart land use policies, ensuring developers contribute their fair share while protecting the environment. 

Push for affordable housing options and assistance programs for home-buyers. 

Enforce City Codes to keep our Newark clean and attractive.

Address the homeless crisis with compassion, treatment and housing.

Enhance transportation by fixing potholes, managing traffic, improving public transit, and making it safer to walk and bike. 

Create "Quiet Zones" at railroad crossings to improve safety without ineffective loud horns. 

Bring in businesses that provide local job opportunities and shopping options, which will increase revenue for city services without raising taxes.

Reduce the city's carbon footprint through  solar power generation, high efficiency  and electric vehicles.  

Address the hazards caused by climate change such as extreme storms and sea level rise.

Bring in businesses that provide local job opportunities and shopping options, which will increase revenue for city services without raising taxes.


Worked for more than a decade guiding Newark’s community and economic development. 

Attracted major businesses like Costco, restaurants, hotels, and large employers to Newark. 

Served on the School Board during the pandemic and led the safe reopening of schools—well before neighboring districts. 

Supported a Dual Language Immersion program where students learn both English and Spanish fluency. 

Successfully advocated for the closure of a crime-ridden motel. 

Played a key role in establishing Newark's first dog park, all-weather sports fields, and first new park in years—all accomplished without increasing taxes. 

Ensured that new neighborhoods contributed positively to the community and brought in additional revenue. 

Contributed to developing the new Library, Police Headquarters, and City Administration Building. 

Actively involved in the community, serving as a long-term member and president of the Rotary Club, the Optimist Club, and the Newark Educational Foundation.
