Why the Planning Commission?

“Rancho Cordova has done a great job defining itself as an employment center within the region, while still establishing itself as the place to live and raise your family. I want the opportunity to use what I have learned to help our Rancho Cordova community continue its journey from good to great. We have a lot of space in our city to be developed and need to ensure it is laid out and planned in a way that allows us to continue to grow businesses, as well as attract cool things for our families to do. I want to help create a city my younger son will be proud to grow up in, and my oldest will enjoy coming back to see how we continue to evolve.”
