Why I’m running:

What do you do for fun? I watch City Council meetings.

After climbing the corporate ladder in publishing for many years, I am now serving my community in new ways. I have tutored students for years and I’m now working to become a real teacher. I work with community groups and with the City Council to pass legislation.

I know a lot about how City Hall works—the policies, the processes, and the personalities. And all too often, City Hall works to help itself instead of serving the people of Glendale. I want to make city government fair and customer-friendly for ALL the people of Glendale, especially the people who are unrepresented in City Hall, like:

Residents of South Glendale
Renters, who are 67% of Glendale
People of Color

And yes, I’m good at math, too.

Come and watch City Council meetings with me! Let’s shape a bright future for Glendale: KwakforChange.com

My sweet, smart cats approve this message.

Let’s create:

  • A City Hall for Everyone!
  • Renters’ Rights
  • A Clean Future

(Yes, the orange and black colors are a nod to tigers, because I was born in the year of the tiger. Calico cats also have tiger colors!)
