Open House

As a candidate for St. Helena City Council, I believe that one of the most critical responsibilities of any public servant is to be accessible to the people they aim to represent. Meeting with community members, listening to their concerns, and answering tough questions about policy positions are essential aspects of this role.

When candidates make themselves available to the public, it fosters a sense of trust and transparency. It demonstrates a commitment to accountability and ensures that the voices of all residents are heard and considered. These interactions provide valuable insights into the issues that matter most to our community, guiding us to make informed decisions that truly reflect the will of the people.

Furthermore, answering difficult questions about policy positions is not just a test of a candidate’s knowledge, but also of their integrity. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate how deeply we understand the complexities of the issues facing our community and to explain the rationale behind our stances. This kind of open dialogue allows voters to make informed choices, knowing where I stand and why.

As I continue my campaign, I am committed to making myself available for these essential conversations. Your input is invaluable, and I am here to listen, engage, and work together towards a better future for St. Helena. Let’s build a community where every our voices matter and each concern is addressed with the seriousness it deserves.  You might not hear everything you like, but I am committed to giving you the news---both the good news and bad.   

Together, we can ensure that our city's leadership remains responsive, transparent, and dedicated to our residents.
