June has been a full and meaningful month across District 2, and I’m excited to share some of the highlights.
We celebrated Juneteenth in Terra Linda, where I joined my friend Chaplain Chitoka Webb to honor the day with reflection, community, and purpose. I had the opportunity to share a few thoughts on the legacy of Juneteenth—recognizing the ongoing struggle for justice and the strength that comes from unity and remembrance.
Pride Month was a time for visibility, joy, and recommitment. I was proud to stand with my team, PRISM, and COMAEA in support of our LGBTQ+ neighbors and colleagues. Inclusion isn't a one-month effort—it's year-round work, and we’re in it together.
I also had the fun and very serious responsibility of serving as a judge at the Fairfax Festival parade, where the creativity was off the charts (and the bribes were only mildly tempting).
This month, I joined the Commission on Aging’s annual Meet and Greet, where we explored how Marin can better support older adults through inclusive planning, access to services, and age-friendly communities.
I was also honored to be featured in the Los Angeles Times, sharing a bit of my personal journey and how it intersects with broader conversations about representation and public service.
And finally, I’m thrilled to share that we’ve welcomed our first round of District 2 interns! Their bios are listed below—and I encourage you to take a look. These young leaders give me real hope for the future. Their curiosity, commitment, and energy are exactly what we need in public service.
Thank you—as always—for your support, feedback, and partnership.
I was honored to be featured in the Los Angeles Times this month in a piece reflecting on my journey as Marin’s first Black Supervisor, the legacy of my grandparents, and the importance of representation in local government. In a moment when DEI efforts are under national scrutiny, I spoke about what it means to lead with purpose, to serve my community fully, and to carry forward a vision of inclusion that’s rooted in action.
This summer, Marin residents can sign up for a free Green House Call—a no-cost service that installs energy- and water-saving devices in your home. Whether you rent or own, local youth will help you save with efficient light bulbs, smart plugs, weather stripping, low-flow showerheads, and even a free induction cooktop (limited supply!).
Offered by Rising Sun Center for Opportunity in partnership with BayREN and Marin County Sustainability, the program runs from June 24 to August 1.
On June 10, the Marin County Board of Supervisors appointed nine members to the newly established Sheriff’s Civilian Oversight Commission—a meaningful step toward greater transparency, public trust, and community engagement in public safety.
Formed through extensive outreach and shaped by community input, the commission reflects a strong desire across Marin to strengthen communication and ensure that residents have a clear window into the policies and practices that shape local law enforcement. With 67 applicants, the response was a powerful sign of civic commitment.
We’re proud to share that District 2 will be represented by Tom McInerney, a seasoned public servant who brings deep experience and a steady hand to this important role.
The Commission will review Sheriff’s Office policies, serve as a platform for public input, and provide guidance in the hiring of the County’s first Inspector General. Its work will help foster transparency and support the community’s interest in a well-informed, responsive public safety system.
Meetings will be open to the public and posted online—we encourage residents to stay engaged as this important work begins.
A major phase of the Corte Madera Creek Flood Risk Management Project is set to begin this September in Kentfield, pending contract approval. This next step will reduce flood risk, restore wetlands, and improve habitat along the creek behind the College of Marin.
One of the most exciting features? The outdated wooden fish ladder will be replaced with improved fish resting pools—a game-changer for migrating fish during spawning season and a big boost for local biodiversity.
The $2.97 million construction effort includes removing old concrete channel walls, raising others to handle heavier storms, and enhancing the nearby pathway with new benches, landscaping, and public amenities. Work is scheduled for September and October—when in-creek construction is permitted.
Thanks to over $3 million in grant funding and strong local partnerships, this project is moving full steam ahead and is on track for completion by late 2026.
Stay tuned—this is a win for flood protection, wildlife, and our community’s future.
Marin County and the Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) have launched the E-Bikers Club — a bold, countywide campaign to promote safe e-bike riding habits and educate residents about new e-bike laws taking effect this summer.
Backed by AB 1778, authored by Assemblymember Damon Connolly, the new ordinance prohibits riders under 16 from using Class 2 (throttle-assisted) e-bikes and requires helmets for all Class 2 riders. The law is being adopted across all 12 Marin jurisdictions and will be in place before the new school year.
The E-Bikers Club campaign is packed with animated videos, posters, gear, and a dedicated website to reach teens and parents with clear safety messages and resources. The effort was shaped with input from youth and fulfills the state’s 30-day public education requirement before enforcement begins.

This summer, the iconic blue roof of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center will get its first professional cleaning since being resurfaced in 2020. Over time, dust and debris dulled the roof to a pale gray—but a careful, specialized cleaning will soon restore its signature “Marin Blue” hue.
The project, led by Marin’s Department of Public Works, is expected to begin in August and take about two months, using biodegradable materials and a mix of power and hand scrubbing. Minor repairs will also be completed as needed.
The cleaning, part of routine maintenance every five years, helps preserve both the historic landmark and the longevity of the roof membrane installed during the 2020 renovation.

Team District 2 celebrated the start of Pride Month with Marin County’s LGBTQ+ employee affiliation group, PRISM. It was a joyful and meaningful gathering that honored identity, visibility, and the ongoing fight for equality. The Board of Supervisors also adopted a resolution proclaiming June as Pride Month in Marin, which can be read here.
Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder of the courage it takes to live authentically, the progress we’ve made, and the work still ahead to ensure safety, dignity, and belonging for all.
We’re proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ colleagues, neighbors, and youth, not just in June, but all year long.
