Fresno boomerang who's a believer in reinvesting in community. Candidate for Mayor in 2020.

[Measure P - Fresno for Parks @fresnoforparks]

In denying a final appeal, today the California Supreme Court made it official: Measure P has passed! Thanks to everyone who supported 'YES ON P' and to @FresnoBHC for their tireless work as park champions and for successfully pressing the legal case. Tonight, we celebrate! 🎉💚

Maybe unsurprising at this point but home values have increased in Fresno over the last year more than SF, LA, Riverside, Orange Counties.

Santa Clara, Sacramento, Kern, San Joaquin counties still seeing even higher jumps though.

If it’s not necessary for police to use teargas against the fascists storming the Capitol right now, it’s not necessary in any circumstance.

Covid-19 has definitely deepened inequality in Fresno: new data from economist Raj Chetty shows that for low-wage workers in the Fresno metro, employment rates dropped by 28.4% since Jan. 2020, while stayed nearly the same for workers making >$60k a year.

Young kids in #Seattle win big 'moving to opportunity'. https://t.co/c6qjtl449I
But in #Fresno, the opposite picture of need vs. opportunity. Where do you go? Existing neighborhoods must become healthy & viable.
