HI THERE. I’M DOCTOR BUNNY.
Budget reflects values. I’ve seen it time and again. And you must also balance operational needs with forward-thinking capital investments that ensure the long-term success of your institution.
A good budget process starts way in advance with deep planning side-by-side with impacted communities. It also involves transparency and trust-building.
If you lay the groundwork, a future disagreement can be less contentious. But if your decision-making happens in a vacuum, doesn’t reflect community voices, and isn’t transparent, you’ll face opposition.
At an educational institution as important as this, I’ll weigh carefully how each decision affects students in both immediate, direct ways and indirect or more subtle ways.
And of course, I’ll prioritize decisions that increase enrollment, because that’s going to be key to building back the College our wonderful city deserves.

CAMPAIGN PLATFORMS
PROTECT FREE CITY
It’s some of the best work our City has done, and voters have already made it clear they want to protect it.
In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to protect voter decisions from those who would prefer to have a silent population so their rich friends can throw caution to the wind.
I will protect Free City with everything I have in me.
CITYWIDE SUPPORT
Every institution, from the school district to the city departments that keep our City by the Bay working, should have a positive, reciprocal relationship with City College.
We need our government officials, workers, and residents to feel personally invested in our collective future.
INVEST IN STUDENTS
Our students aren’t just numbers on a page.
We should treat them as important voices in the discussions of their future. We need to ensure a holistic education.
In addition, we need to make sure we are supporting student organizing and leadership development!
If we invest in our students, it will pay dividends.
PUT EDUCATION FIRST.
City College is in the business of educating. That means every single decision should put education, educators, and those being educated ahead of other factors.
We need an educator who will advocate from Sacramento to City Hall for this purpose and this purpose alone. It’s not about taxes, or land use, or transfers. It’s about what tools we can use to make sure everyone gets a quality firsthand experience of a truly democratic education.
