Sep 29 - We're at Blackbird Kitchen + Beer Gallery with the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Sacramento Partnership, and city and county staff for the annual Business Walk. This morning our office canvassed local businesses to ask "How's business?". Some takeaways: the economy is improving, and downtown is experiencing both the benefits and challenges of growth when it comes to parking and public safety. Thanks to all of our partners for this opportunity and we are already looking forward to next year's walk! Read Post

Sep 29 - Honored to be voted by the readers of Sacramento Magazine as the "Best Local Elected Official." It is a team effort here at Council District 4, and we could not do all that we do without Consuelo, Pete, and Matt. We also got a lot of help along the way from Jisifredo and the birthday boy, Jameson. Thank you for your support and we're all excited to work for District 4 for four more years! Read Post

Sep 27 - We're so lucky to have such a vibrant district when it comes to cultural events, the arts, and music festivals. From Natomas to South Land Park, District 4 residents are great patrons of the arts. One of the newest, coolest examples is Sac PorchFest. Locally organized, this event showcases a number of local acts at unconventional venues around midtown. Its technically free, but donations collected at the venue will go toward Loaves and Fishes Mustard Seed School. Check it out! Read Post

Sep 22 - It is hard to overstate just how important of a role the Sacramento Area Council of Governments plays in our city and region. Bikeshare, our regional housing allocations, our sustainable communities plans are all SACOG-led efforts and vital to the future of our City. That's why we're thrilled to have James Corless announced as the next CEO of the agency. Corless is the founding director of Transportation for America, where he coordinated a network of civic, elected, and business leaders to advocate for strategic investments in infrastructure are crucial for attracting economic development. There, Corless implemented a series of Transportation Leadership Academies for local leaders across the nation and helped launch the national Smart Cities Collaborative for municipalities looking to use technology to improve mobility options. SACOG is our regional transportation planning and funding agency. It also serves as a forum for the study and resolution of regional issues. Understanding and balancing our region's interests and priorities takes a sharp mind and clear vision and James brings both. We are excited to have him on board! Read Post

Sep 20 - We love the new wayfinding signs that the City is installing around the Central City! These signs will help riders find a low stress route into downtown's Cesar Chavez park. Give it a try and jump on your bike! This is a pilot program so our Department of Public Works would love your feedback as we look to expand the number of routes and destinations.
