- Statement: "Thank you for the privilege of serving as Mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Together, we have accomplished a great deal and I will always be dedicated to this community. These have been unprecedented times. Since taking office, we traversed in and out of a pandemic. We pivoted and were nimble and creative as we figured out ways to keep our community safe and our economy strong. Now, on the other side, we are revitalizing our community, investing in deferred infrastructure and finding solutions to outstanding projects such as the police station - all while preserving our heritage and character and maintaining our fiscal responsibility of a balanced budget.
- Carmel-by-the-Sea also faces a difficult housing mandate forced on us by the State. We are proud to have been one of the few cities in the County to submit our housing element by the deadline to ensure that we keep local control of the housing decisions in our community. This is one of the most critical issues our city will face and we must continue to seek input from the residents. It’s more important now, than ever, that we have experienced leadership in our city government and I ask for your vote to continue serving this community."
