Meet Yvonne

"I grew up in Morgan Hill, this community built me. Now, with 6 years experience as Councilwoman, I am excited to announce
my candidacy for Mayor! 
Together, we can make our hometown
a safe place to live, work, play and thrive for everyone."

I am running for Mayor to build a better Morgan Hill. One that prioritizes public safety, economic strength and preserves our city's community essence, a Morgan Hill for everyone. With my experience in City leadership over the last 6 years, having earned a Masters in Urban Planning in Housing and Economic Development from NYU and deep roots in the community, I am the best candidate to serve our hometown. My policy entails community engagement, transparency, inclusion and equity. I have shown my commitment to prioritizing public safety, tackling the hard issues, listening and representing your voice and making data based decisions.

Let's ensure opportunities and our family-oriented community continue for the next generation. None of this happens without you. I humbly ask to earn your support and your vote to ensure that Morgan Hill continues to stand in support of all its residents and that it is a welcoming and safe community.
I look forward to working with you for a better Morgan Hill, our home!
