What she's working on

Three priorities guiding this term

Pleasanton's challenges are specific — here's where Julie is putting her attention on the Council.

Growth & Housing

Smart, mitigated growth

Pushing back on unfunded state housing mandates while supporting real, needed low-income housing — without asking existing residents to absorb all the impact.

Water

Water quality & availability

Supporting Pleasanton's Water Supply Assessment so the city understands its options before a crisis forces the decision.

Community

Downtown character & safety

Protecting Pleasanton's historic downtown and small-town feel, and keeping public safety resources funded as the city grows.
