Dear Culver City Neighbors,

I am running for Culver City Council in 2012 because I want to sustain the best aspects of our City and improve the quality of its services for everyone in our community.

I have dedicated myself to public service for many years, participating on City committees, starting neighborhood groups, and volunteering at schools. I hope to extend my ability to help the people of Culver City by serving on our City Council.

The experience of living with my grandmother while raising two children has shaped my values and given me first-handknowledge of the needs of many of our

residents. My grandmother lived through the Great Depression, and taught me the perseverance, thrift, and self-reliance we need to weather the current recession.

Particularly during a time of serious financial challenges, I believe City Hall needs to use the City’s resources wisely in order to protect the services we depend on. Fiscal responsibility, smart development, and environmental sustainability are three of the most important ways we can better manage our City’s resources.

Culver City needs leadership with the vision to support the long-term health of our neighborhoods, the experience to encourage

community cooperation, and the will to take action. I will be a strong voice for residents, and will listen carefully to their needs and concerns. I have learned that there is no problem so great that it can’t be solved when we all work together.

Thank you for your participation in the City Council election on April 10, 2012. I look forward to gaining your support and stand ready to work hard for all of Culver City.

Sincerely yours,
