Candidate for
Council Member; City of Foster City

We've lived in Foster City for over 33 years. We've grown to love the city with its beautiful parks and lagoons. We also love the lifestyle where there is a sense of frienship and family. There is a vibrant sports community with Little League and soccer. There is a an active teen center at the Vibe and a Senior Center at the Rec Center. This is the life style that we all enjoy and which I will try and protect as a city council member. I recently retired and can now devote time to give back to the city I love.

As a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, I learned that people will donate to the Society if they feel a connection to their gift. I also learned that you must create a relationship with the donor in order to earn their trust. And the last lesson that I learned was that you must be transparent and communicate with the donor.

I feel that these lessons will serve me well as a council member. People need to have a connection to the city, I must earn their trust and, finally, I will be open and transparent with all of my decisions.
