A More Affordable
and Livable Fremont.

Building affordable housing gives working families, seniors, and people with disabilities a real chance to live in Fremont without spending the majority of their paycheck on rent. It also reduces displacement, strengthens​ our local schools and businesses with a stable population, and is one of the most direct ways a city can address the root causes of both housing insecurity and homelessness.​ I strive for a Fremont where working families, seniors, teachers, and first responders can afford to live​. That will make a stronger and more vibrant Fremont for all of us.

Nobody should have to live on the street in one of the wealthiest regions in the world. Every person sleeping outside in Fremont is someone's neighbor, someone's family member, and someone who deserves a path forward. Fremont has made progress on homelessness, and I intend to build on it by expanding supportive housing and the wraparound services that help people stay housed once they get there. Housing people is not just the compassionate thing to do; it costs our community far less than any alternative.

Too many Fremont renters have nowhere to turn when a landlord ignores much-needed repairs or pushes through an unfair rent increase. The City can expand the scope of the Rent Review Board to provide tenants an accessible place to be heard without having to hire a lawyer or navigate a courthouse. This is about basic fairness and making sure that Fremont residents have the protections they deserve.

Building more homes near BART and bus lines is one of the smartest investments we can make as a city. It puts housing where people can actually get around without a car, reduces traffic and emissions, and makes homeownership and renting more affordable. Neighborhoods like Irvington are perfectly positioned for this kind of thoughtful, community-centered growth. Done right, transit-oriented development makes our city more walkable, more connected, and more affordable.

Wall Street should not be in the business of owning Fremont's neighborhoods. When private equity firms buy up homes, they drive up prices, raise rents, and treat our community like an investment portfolio. I will pursue every available legal avenue to protect Fremont's housing stock for individual families and first-time homebuyers, not for corporations seeking a return. Your neighborhood deserves neighbors, not shareholders.

The hills above Fremont are one of this city's most treasured and irreplaceable assets. They define our skyline, protect our open space, and give every resident a connection to nature that most cities can only dream of. I will fight to keep them that way, opposing development that would chip away at the open space and hillside character that makes Fremont unique. Some things are worth protecting permanently.

In a city as wealthy as Fremont, no child should go to school hungry and no senior should skip a meal because they cannot afford groceries. I want to build a coordinated strategy to end food insecurity in Fremont, connecting our community gardens, edible streetscapes, food bank partners, and community kitchens into a single, unified effort. These combined programs can provide prepared meals to those in need, support food education programs, and give community organizations the ability to expand their services. Hunger in Fremont is a problem we have the resources to solve.

Every young person in Fremont deserves a shot at a meaningful summer experience that prepares them for the future. I want to build a formal Summer Youth Employment Program that connects our teens with paid work, internships, and volunteer opportunities across city departments, local businesses, and nonprofits. Young people who are invested in their community grow up to lead it. This is how we build the Fremont of the next generation.
