- Excerpt: "My platform is to bring greater transparency and accountability to our citizenry along with innovative thinking in solving problems. The East Bay is a politically engaged place known for academic achievement, scientific research, free speech, delectable cuisine, and the imaginative arts. Over the years the area has built a reputation considerably larger than a population would warrant. This however has meant that not all our voices have been heard, something I hope to amend."
