Why I'm Running
Meet the Candidate
I'm thrilled to run to be your next Mayor. I've lived in San Leandro for 15 years with my wife, Nicole and our three sons. I'm dedicated to our community and I'm ready to make San Leandro a "Place Everyone Can Call Home".

Bring businesses to San Leandro
We’re running out of money.
