Goals for Seaside

Over the past four years, the City of Seaside has steadily moved in a direction that has seen many successes.

A growing downtown, a future Senior Assisted living facility, developing Campus Town, and affordable housing with a focus on the Ascent Complex and other in-progress units. Park development and street and sidewalk improvement is happening for the first time in more than a quarter of a century. Most importantly, Seaside is creating a community of residents that can be proud of their city and growing into a leader on the Peninsula for action. We have a cutting edge plan that will lead us into a great future for generations to come.

The path to excellence has many curves but we are on the cusp to achieve a vision that will make a significant positive difference in our children’s and grandchildren’s lives. Championing Seaside's future takes a vision and understanding of Seaside's history. I am a lifelong resident who has a grass roots knowledge of residents with an understanding of the direction needed to continue to build our great city. I believe I can lead our city with my participation, ability to listen to residents, and my passion for Seaside and our community.
