Dear Petaluma,

Over the last three years in my position on the city council I’ve tried to move the city forward in a way that stays true to our roots while not being stuck in the past. My service has been an invaluable learning experience and has helped me become a better version of myself. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and grateful to the many people who have helped me along this journey. It has truly been a labor of love.

My public service has always been about Petaluma’s future – a future where everyone is safe and welcome, and where your children and mine can afford to raise families, start a business, and retire here. As a new father, my calling to serve our city is stronger than ever. We must address today’s challenges and do right by future generations; that is the work I am signing up for.

I will continue to champion issues like affordable and workforce housing, traffic relief, street safety, climate action, environmental protection, a vibrant downtown, supporting local businesses, parks and recreation, public safety, helping seniors age in place, and being an inclusive family-friendly community. 

Because Petaluma transitioned to district elections in 2022, I will be running for the District 6 seat. Rest assured that I will continue representing the needs and interests of all Petalumans.

Your support means so much. Thank you. #Barnacle24

Sincerely,
