As a life-long environmentalist, I have fought many battles for the preservation of open space and the funding of our city’s parks and greenbelts.

In my second term, I am committed to the completion of the Davis Bikeway/Greenway system.

I will issue a challenge to my colleagues on the council and you, the citizens of Davis, to reduce our city’s carbon footprint by:

• Transitioning all city fleet vehicles to hybrid electric cars.
• Promoting 100% usage of compact fluorescent light bulbs in city buildings.
• Promoting the use of solar energy and other alternative technologies in municipal buildings.

I will also demand that all future housing be innovative and address the needs of our community while supporting environmental sustainability.
