🚲 GIVE KIDS A PLACE TO RIDE, GROW & BELONG

The Sycamore BMX Track is personal to me! All three of my kids raced there
with Joan and Tony, and I saw firsthand how it brought kids, families, and our community together.

As I run for Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District Board, I want to make sure we keep investing in positive, healthy places for our youth. Rebuilding the Sycamore BMX Track is a commitment to the next generation and another way we can give kids something active and productive to do right here at home.

Our community. Our kids. Our future. My commitment. 💚

A heartfelt thank you to the Simi Valley Police Officers Association for your endorsement and your continued commitment to our community.

As the wife of a former law enforcement officer, I understand how important public safety is to our families. We need safe parks, safe schools, and a safe community.

I look forward to continuing our tri-agency discussions and working together with law enforcement to keep Simi Valley safe, strong, and thriving. 🇺🇸

Our parks, our trails, and the bike path are covered by rangers, not officers. We asked Dawn Smollen how she sees that relationship. She said the two "can continue to build a strong partnership, supporting each other in keeping our community safe." Nine years on the Simi Valley school board, and she is asking to serve the park district next. Public safety must be a top priority.

Spent the first day of fall at Simi Hills Golf Course supporting Royal and Simi Valley High School girls’ golf! ⛳️🍂 Having raised my family here and watched my own kids grow up enjoying our parks and recreation programs, I know firsthand how special these spaces are. Today was a beautiful reminder of how our parks bring families, students, and our community together. 💚

From scenic mountain vistas to peaceful family walking paths, Rancho Simi offers incredible outdoor trails right in our backyard. Which trail in Simi Valley is your personal favorite to explore on the weekends?
