Detailed Plan for District 2

I’m running for Alameda County Supervisor to make county government work better for the people of District 2 — Hayward, Union City, Newark, and the Fremont neighborhoods in our district.

A County Supervisor should focus on the issues the office can actually influence: public safety through county systems, homelessness and housing stability, transparent use of public dollars, and economic security for working families. My approach is practical, measurable, and focused on results.

Residents deserve safer neighborhoods, but real public safety means more than enforcement alone. It means faster crisis response, stronger mental-health and addiction services, better diversion and reentry, and county systems that respond before situations get worse.

• Push for faster county behavioral-health crisis response and clearer coordination with local agencies 
• Expand the focus on treatment, diversion, and reentry so fewer people cycle between the street, the emergency room, and jail 
• Require public reporting on response times, outcomes, and repeat-crisis patterns so residents can see what is working 
• Support county investments that reduce visible disorder and improve neighborhood stability 

Public safety should be judged by whether families feel safer and whether fewer people are falling through the cracks.

Too many people are still living on the street while the system remains too fragmented and too dependent on short-term fixes. Alameda County needs a more effective approach that combines compassion, treatment, prevention, and accountability.

• Focus more county resources on preventing homelessness before families lose housing 
• Push for more permanent exits from homelessness, not just temporary placements 
• Strengthen coordination between outreach, behavioral-health care, shelter, and housing providers 
• Hold county-funded programs accountable for measurable results, including placements, housing retention, and reduced returns to homelessness 
• Support humane solutions that reduce both suffering and neighborhood disorder 

The goal is straightforward: fewer people becoming homeless, more people getting indoors, and more county programs showing real results.

Residents deserve to know where county money goes, what programs are working, and what needs to change. Government should be easier to understand and easier to hold accountable.

• Push for plain-English reporting on major county spending and contracts 
• Support public scorecards for county-funded providers and nonprofit partners 
• Publish regular district updates on priorities, progress, and constituent concerns 
• Ask tougher questions when programs are underperforming and insist on timelines for improvement 
• Make accountability part of every major budget and contract discussion 

Taxpayers should not have to guess whether public dollars are solving problems. County government should show its work.

Families across District 2 are feeling pressure from rising costs, layoffs, and rapid technological change. County government cannot solve every economic challenge, but it can do much more to help workers and small businesses adapt.

• Strengthen county response when layoffs hit, so workers get connected more quickly to benefits, retraining, and job pathways 
• Support workforce training tied to real jobs, including digital and AI-related skills 
• Promote stronger partnerships between the county, community colleges, adult schools, labor, and employers 
• Push for responsible AI standards in county government, with transparency, privacy protections, and human oversight 
• Support small businesses through practical connections to county and regional resources 

The future of work is changing fast. Alameda County should help residents prepare for it instead of reacting after the damage is done.

I will focus on outcomes, not excuses.

That means:

• clearer priorities 
• faster implementation 
• stronger oversight 
• better communication with the public 
• and a willingness to say when something is not working 

District 2 deserves leadership that moves with urgency, respects taxpayers, and treats public service as a responsibility to solve problems.

If elected, I will start by focusing on a few clear steps:

• push for stronger public accountability on homelessness and behavioral-health outcomes 
• prioritize district-level visibility into county spending and contracts 
• support faster crisis response and stronger treatment pathways 
• improve county coordination around layoffs, retraining, and future-of-work challenges 

We want county government to be measured by results people can actually see in their neighborhoods and in their daily lives.
