A Well-Run
and Safer Fremont.

Interacting with your city government should not feel like a bureaucratic obstacle course. I want to make it easier for every Fremont resident to request a service, track its status, and get a real answer in a language they understand. From better online tools to maintaining accessible city meetings to clearer communication in multiple languages, modernizing how the city works is how we build trust between residents and their government. You deserve a city hall that works as hard as you do.

Fremont's long-term financial health depends on facing our pension obligations honestly and acting on them now. Every dollar of unfunded liability that compounds today is a dollar that crowds out parks, public safety, and services tomorrow. I support creating a Section 115 Trust to set aside extra funds specifically for pension obligations, protecting residents from the future service cuts that come when these problems are ignored. This is exactly the kind of fiscal responsibility that keeps a city strong for generations.

When Fremont spends public money on construction projects, that money should support good jobs and skilled workers, not the lowest bidder willing to cut corners on wages and safety. A Project Labor Agreement for city projects above an agreed upon threshold would ensure a qualified, stable workforce, reduce the risk of costly delays and disputes, and keep more of that investment flowing back into the local economy. Public money should do public good.

Keeping Fremont safe is one of the most fundamental things a city government does, and I take it seriously. I support making sure our first responders have the training, equipment, mental health support, and community relationships they need to do their jobs well, including investment in de-escalation training and mental health co-responder programs that improve outcomes for everyone. I will also push for to do an inventory of our fire hydrants, and prioritize repairs that need to be made to improve our fire response and preparedness. Public safety is not just about response - it is about building the kind of community where fewer crises happen in the first place. Fremont residents deserve to feel safe in their own city.

The city's money is your money, and it deserves to be managed with care. I will push for a review of Fremont's investment policies to make sure that public funds are protected from the kinds of market swings that can wipe out reserves and force painful cuts to city services. Responsible stewardship of our public finances is not optional. It is the foundation that everything else is built on. Fremont residents deserve a city that handles their money the way they would want their own money handled.

A city that does not know its own vulnerabilities cannot protect its residents. I will push for an independent cybersecurity audit of Fremont's municipal systems and a comprehensive seismic risk assessment of city-owned buildings and critical infrastructure, followed by a funded plan to address what we find. These are not optional investments; a cyberattack or a major earthquake without adequate preparation could be devastating for the residents who depend on city services. Let's find the gaps before a crisis forces us to.

Every resident of Fremont, regardless of immigration status, deserves to call 911, report a crime, and interact with their city government without fear. I support a clear policy prohibiting Fremont city staff and police from cooperating with or assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, consistent with California law. When immigrant families are afraid to come forward, all of us are less safe. Fremont should be a place where everyone belongs.
