RECOMMENDS FRANK EGGER
RESPECT - EXPERIENCE - VISION
I care about what matters to you. Listening is the hallmark of my 7 terms as Mayor of Fairfax, and my candidacy today.
I will always put the people of Fairfax first, protect the health of our environment, and work to keep Fairfax one of the best places to live in California.

My Campaign Ballot Statement
I care deeply about the issues that matter to you, which is why I've dedicated my career to protecting and improving Fairfax through thoughtful legislation and tireless advocacy. I authored Fairfax ordinances including: Fairfax's pesticide ban on the commons, height limits, Living Wage Law, preserving ridgetop parcels, the zoning ordinance that allowed the Bennett House; the law prohibiting the conversion of affordable apartments to for sale Condos and Fairfax was sued. The case was appealed, I prevailed, setting California Case Law giving General Law cities the right to protect affordable housing. As Mayor of Fairfax, I was appointed California's first Coastal Commissioner, North Central Coast Region (December 7, 1972), serving until 1981. My Fairfax based North Coast Rivers Alliance is currently a lead plaintiff in Federal Court against former President Donald Trump and his approval of Keystone XL Pipeline. I battled the State on zoning issues, prevailing 4 times and setting new Case Law. When California's Attorney General told Fairfax to revoke our pesticide ban on the commons law, I fought that order with 3 attorneys and prevailed. A San Francisco native and 62 year Fairfax resident, I served as: Chair, Fairfax Parks & Recreation Commission; 7 term Mayor of Fairfax; President, Ross Valley Sanitary District; Founding Director, Ross Valley Paramedic Authority; Co-Founder Friends of the Eel River; President, North Coast Rivers Alliance; Treasurer, Pesticide Free Zone; Co-Chair, Sierra Club San Francisco Bay Chapter Water Committee; San Francisco Bay Area Coordinator for Stop the Spray.
