I’m a first-generation American who grew up in East Palo Alto. I went to Duke, becoming the first in my family to go to college; I later attended Oxford University on a Marshall Scholarship. I then returned home to East Palo Alto to give back to the community that raised me. I ran for city council and won. I’ve worked with Senator Josh Becker as his district representative serving the communities of East Palo Alto, East Menlo Park, and North Fair Oaks. During my time as council member and now mayor, I’ve helped to secure vaccinations to fight COVID, participated in campaigns to bring in over $700M for our public schools and I’ve co-launched a coalition to combat sex trafficking. As Mayor, I am proud to announce that last year, through the council’s investment in law enforcement, we brought the homicides down to zero. I’ve delivered real results for my hometown. As your supervisor, I’ll be a progressive voice protecting our communities, our schools, and the rights of women and working families.
  • Public Safety: I worked with community leaders and the City Council to bring homicides in East Palo Alto down to 0, the first time in my City’s history. I’ll work to make our streets safer, I’ll champion community policing, and I’ll work to end street homelessness and clean up blight.
  • In 2022, I worked to secure over $700 million in funding for local public schools through a bond measure. I’ll work to bring down the cost of child care and expand childcare centers. I’ll use Measure K funding to expand after school programs. I will make sure that every kid, no matter their zip code, gets the education they deserve.
  • I believe that the best way to make housing more affordable is to build housing for everyone. I’ll support Project Home Key to convert hotels to housing for the homeless. And, I’ll build housing for essential workers—so teachers, police officers, and firefighters can afford to call San Mateo County home.
Reproductive Rights, Public Safety, Affordable Housing, and Education.
In 2020, in the height of the pandemic, I returned to my hometown to serve on the city council of East Palo Alto. During my time as councilmember and Mayor, I have seen firsthand the importance of hands-on leadership. Working with state and county officials, we have taken steps forward for affordable housing for all, secured funding for the property for a new library for our kids, reduced homelessness, and best of all, brought homicides down to zero in East Palo Alto – the first time in the city’s history.

But there is more we can do together.

As your supervisor, I will work to build a county where you raise your family, where you feel not only safe, but empowered. Join me, and we can build a county that represents not only the best of today, but the promise of

tomorrow.
