Preserving Monterey, Planning for Tomorrow, Putting Neighborhoods First
"I'm not running because I want a political position. I'm running because I care about Monterey and want to help ensure that future generations enjoy the same quality of life that has made this community such a special place to live." —Vicki

What This Means for District 2
Our Vision for the Heart of Monterey
My campaign is built around a simple, practical plan for our city: to Preserve, Protect, and Secure the Future of Monterey—what we all want.
District 2 is the heart of Monterey—home to our vibrant downtown business district, historic Fisherman's Wharf, world-class hotels, and neighborhoods where people live, work, and thrive side by side.
Monterey First — Monterey Forward — Monterey Together!
Monterey District 2 deserves leadership that listens, delivers, and puts residents first. Whether it's traffic, street conditions, safety, local businesses, or parks, I'll bring a steady, responsive voice to City Hall.
Working for a stronger Monterey, together.

Monterey is four districts and one city. From Alvarado Street to Fisherman's Wharf, from downtown to our established neighborhoods — the decisions made at City Hall shape every corner of it, and District 2 deserves a strong voice at that table.

Neighborhoods First
Neighborhoods First
"NCIP plays an important role in identifying neighborhood projects such as sidewalks, streets, parks, and lighting. I believe NCIP should stay focused on these core quality-of-life projects."
As we work through city budget challenges, these decisions must be made with strong community input and full transparency so neighborhood voices stay at the center of the process.
