Community first

Moraga is worth showing up for.

I've  watched this community navigate growth, wildfire risk, school funding pressures, and the everyday challenges of small-town governance. What I've seen most clearly is that when neighbors show up — at council meetings, in school hallways, at the farmers market — good things happen. This campaign is about continuing that tradition of civic care. Not with grand promises, but with steady, thoughtful work on the issues that matter most to the people who live here.

Get involved

This campaign runs on neighbor energy.

Whether you can volunteer an afternoon, host a small gathering, or simply share the word with a friend — every action moves us forward.
