Positive impact
Healdsburg offers an exceptional quality of life that my family and I have truly appreciated for 27 years. We have been very active in the community and have worked to help preserve Healdsburg’s character and values. Healdsburg is a community of volunteers and we all find the best way to contribute. I have been able to give back through serving on the council and believe that I have made a positive impact over the years. I look forward to serving for four more years.
