Slogan: Community-minded Leader

Statement: We all chose to call Alameda home because it’s a safe community with distinct neighborhoods, open space and parks, and a unique island character. I’m fortunate to be a part of this diverse city of neighbors and friends and want to give back to the city I love. My experience as a former councilmember and legislative aide, problem solving for constituents and connecting them to services, will chart my course on the council. I’m committed to strengthening what’s best about Alameda and improving our quality of life.

My top priorities: Preserve public safety, keep neighborhoods safe, enhance training to eliminate bias in policing, and support the Alameda CARE team pilot. Expand affordable housing, protect renters, provide coordinated support services to unhoused residents, and move medically frail unhoused seniors to permanent housing. Protect core services, ensure equity in public services, improve pedestrian and bike safety, repair streets, and maintain fiscal stability. Protect working families and seniors and invest in economic development to create local jobs and improve Alameda. Preserve our shoreline and boost actions to combat climate change.

I’m supported by working families, small business owners, locally elected officials, and Assemblywoman Mia Bonta. I’d be honored to have your vote. www.Oddie4alameda.com
