Larkspur's Heart Is Strong

I’ve heard some say Larkspur is broken. I disagree! Larkspur is not broken. It is a community filled with heart, history, and people who care deeply about its future. I see that commitment every day in our residents, local businesses, nonprofit organizations, volunteers, and city staff.

When Larkspur works together, we can accomplish great things. Our new library is a clear example. As a founding member of The Commons Foundation, I helped raise the $5.2 million that launched the project. Residents, businesses, community organizations, and the city came together around a shared vision and turned it into something real.

Now we must make sure the library has the ongoing funding it needs to become the community jewel we envisioned. A beautiful building is only the beginning. It needs strong programs, helpful resources, welcoming spaces, and enough staff to serve residents of every age.

We can bring that same cooperative approach to the other challenges and opportunities ahead.

We can develop housing that fits our community while meeting state requirements. That means working with residents, property owners, and developers to turn approved plans into homes, while considering traffic, infrastructure, wildfire safety, sea-level rise, and neighborhood character.

We can protect the beauty and history of downtown while helping it grow and thrive. Our local restaurants, shops, the Lark Theater, historic City Hall, and community events give downtown its identity. Supporting them will keep Larkspur welcoming, active, and connected.

We can also work with the owners of the former Lucky property to revive, rethink, and develop a site that has been vacant for too long. Residents deserve an open process and a thoughtful plan that brings new life and value to that part of our community.

This is why I am running for City Council. I want to help guide these changes through careful planning, and responsible decisions. My 18 years on the Parks and Recreation Commission have taught me that lasting progress starts with listening, building trust, and bringing people together.

Larkspur’s heart is strong. It simply needs thoughtful care, steady leadership, and people willing to do the work. I am ready to help preserve what we love while building a future that serves the entire community.

One Door at a Time

Knocking on Doors

Listening to Larkspur

There is something special about walking through Larkspur, knocking on doors, and having honest conversations with neighbors. It gives residents a chance to get to know me, but just as important, it gives me the opportunity to get to know them.

At each door, I hear something different. People want to talk about housing, traffic, downtown businesses, parks, the new library, and the future of our community.

Some share concerns. Others offer ideas or tell me what they love most about living here. Every conversation helps me better understand what matters to the people I hope to represent.

Campaigns can involve signs, mailers, and social media, but nothing replaces a conversation between neighbors.

Good local government begins the same way: by showing up, listening carefully, and treating every person with respect.

I am grateful to everyone who joined us for the kickoff, especially those who spent their time walking neighborhoods and introducing our campaign to voters.

Your help allows us to reach more residents and hear more voices.

We still need volunteers to help spread our message. You can join us for a neighborhood walk, knock on doors, make phone calls, deliver campaign materials, or help in another way that fits your schedule. You do not need campaign experience. We will provide everything you need.

With a seven-way race, every conversation matters. If you believe in experienced local leadership and a future that preserves Larkspur’s heart while preparing our city for what comes next, I hope you will join us.

It's Been A Busy Few Weeks
