Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
I am passionate about policies that keep our democracy true.
Fostering civic engagement and preserving our community are an important part of my motivations to run for Oakland Councilmember. Accountability and transparency form the backbone of my campaign.
I am pushing for an online voting platform to enable you to weigh in on council measures and hold the government accountable. I have also adopted a $35 limit for donors to ensure the Oakland we create is one of love and belonging and gives an equal voice to all.
