Hello District 4!
As we settle into the heart of summer (despite the weather's best efforts to keep us guessing), I hope you are finding time to enjoy all that the season has to offer. Whether you're spending time with friends and family, enjoying the outdoors, attending local events, or simply enjoying the warm evenings at home, this season offers wonderful opportunities to relax and reconnect. In this month's newsletter, you'll find upcoming events, community updates, helpful resources and more - so be sure to read on!
One upcoming event is my 23rd annual Healthy Living Festival on September 24! As my flagship event for older adults (ages 55+), the festival brings together valuable health, wellness, and community resources in a fun and engaging setting at the Oakland Zoo. Be sure to check out the flyer in this newsletter for additional details. Registration is required and parking is limited, so be sure to register asap.
It’s an honor to serve you and I remain committed to delivering results on your behalf. As always, if you need assistance with any county-related matters, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of my offices. Contact details are listed at the bottom of this newsletter - my staff and I are here to help.

Ultra-Light Rail Freight and Transit system (ULRF&T) Initiative
 I was proud to secure unanimous support from my colleagues on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for a resolution backing the continued development of an innovative Ultra-Light Rail Freight and Transit (ULRF&T) system, including CyberTran and its partners' vision for a next-generation transportation network.
This forward-looking initiative has the potential to transform how goods and people move throughout our region by reducing traffic congestion on the I-580 corridor, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting a zero-carbon freight and transit future.
Working alongside UC Berkeley PATH, EARTHGRID, MANEX, and other partners, this effort also explores opportunities to bring advanced manufacturing jobs to Alameda County and develop an Inland Port that strengthens our regional supply chain and economy.
While this resolution does not commit County funding, it demonstrates Alameda County's commitment to exploring innovative transportation solutions that improve mobility, protect our environment, and create high-quality jobs for our residents.
Together, we're investing in bold ideas that can help build a cleaner, more connected, and more prosperous future for Alameda County.
