My husband and I moved to San Benito County 20 years ago and have expanded our family as the county has expanded. I have a strong desire to see the county thrive through smart growth that will provide a place to inspire my children to raise their families here.

As the current Supervisor for District 1, I will continue to be committed to cultivating the aspects that make our county unique, while working to support families by increasing affordable housing, providing services to women, children and the elderly. I also have a special interest in mental health services for all residents, especially youth.

As a working mother, former teacher and community volunteer, I will bring a unique perspective. We need a more thoughtful approach to growth that provides economic opportunities while preserving our county's rural character.

My experience as an educator, a member of the Civil Grand Jury for San Benito County, and as a volunteer with local nonprofit groups has prepared me to be a voice for families.
