Dear Friends in Santa Clara,

Welcome to our webpage.  Thank you for allowing me to share some information about my role as a member of the Santa Clara City Council.  I hope that our paths have crossed before.  In my forty years with the Santa Clara Unified School District as a teacher, coach, principal, and associate superintendent, I have worked with thousands of students and their families and other members of the community.  I have been extremely proud to serve our children and our community in this way.

If indeed we have crossed paths, I believe you know me to be an honest, dedicated, intelligent, hardworking person.  If indeed we have crossed paths, I believe you will remember that I have been fair and compassionate and completely devoted to the well being of the students and adults in my care.

I bring this same package to my work on the City Council.  I believe the City will be better for my guidance, my judgment, and my effort.

Please read on, and share your thoughts with me and hopefully with your friends and neighbors in Santa Clara.  I am privileged to have your support.

Sincerely,
