Thank you to the Iranian American Democrats of California for inviting me and Ryan Dack to present on the Voter Choice Irvine, Yes on Measure D campaign! 💜Majority rule matters and ranked choice voting will ensure that our electeds win with a majority of the vote every time! 🗳️

And great seeing a former fellow National Women's Political Caucus - OC board member, Faye Hezar! We served together for years with NWPCOC! 💪

Welcome Back to School to our 7th AND 8th Graders! 🎉 A new adventure begins for me serving as PTSA President at Jeffrey Trail Middle School! 🚀 So thankful for the service-minded Board members representing all four elementary schools that feed into JTMS! Looking forward to a fun-filled year together!

Our last First Day of School at Cypress Village Elementary! 🥹 It’s hitting me harder than my daughter!

What a wild and wonderful ride it’s been over the years—2023 as EVP, 2024 and 2025 as President, and wrapping it all up right back as EVP under an awesome new President!

Serving your school community is one of the most rewarding things you can do. 💕 I’m going to cherish every single event this year!

💜 Thank you to Councilmembers Kathleen K Treseder, Betty Martinez Franco, Melinda Liu, and William Go, for moving Irvine one step closer to implementing ranked choice voting! 🙌 And thank you to all those in our community who submitted public comments online or in-person to support! 👏

---Sample 1---
I am writing as an Irvine resident to urge the City Council to support Ranked Choice Voting. RCV empowers voters by giving them more choices and eliminates the 'spoiler effect' that often discourages new candidates from running. It is a proven, common-sense reform that makes our local democracy more resilient and inclusive. Please vote 'Yes' on this item to ensure that Irvine’s elections are decided by a true majority of its citizens.

--- Sample---
Irvine has always been a leader in innovation and good governance. By adopting Ranked Choice Voting, we can lead the way in Orange County toward more civil and representative elections. RCV rewards candidates who reach out beyond their base to build a broader consensus, which is exactly what our city needs. I am asking the Council to support this measure tonight and move Irvine toward a more democratic future.
