My Top 3 Priorities

  • Invest in public education by providing support for teacher recruitment and retention, continuing to expand early childhood education, bolstering vocational education and training, and making college more affordable for all.
  • Make home ownership a reality for middle-class people by supporting investments in programs that help first-time home buyers and policies that reduce foreclosures; and secure resources to build affordable housing as well as combat homelessness.
  • Promote regional resilience by combating climate change, improving forest management, increasing funding to upgrade infrastructure, and holding private corporations accountable for failures to protect private property and public safety.

Biography

As an educator, Beth has spent twenty years helping educational organizations serve their communities and students reach their goals. She’s a regional leader in adult education and workforce development and has also worked as a leader and teacher in K-12 and higher education.

A Democrat and lifelong Californian, Beth came to the North Bay almost a decade ago to be with family in Sonoma County. She served as a guest teacher in grades K-12 in multiple Sonoma County school districts and taught middle school in Windsor. At College of Marin, she managed Community Education and Lifelong Learning programs in Kentfield and Novato. Currently managing adult workforce training programs for the Lake County Office of Education, Beth collaborates with partners in Marin, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Humboldt counties.

Prior to coming to the North Bay, Beth lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area, creating and managing community service and student leadership programs at Saint Mary’s College of California. While a Bay Area resident, Beth volunteered with multiple nonprofits, mentoring through Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area, serving free meals to struggling San Franciscans at the St. Anthony Foundation, and providing support at fundraising events for Make-A-Wish. She was also an active member of All Souls Episcopal Parish in Berkeley.

Beth met her archeologist husband in the North Coast region, and they married in Sonoma. Having grown up with an active outdoor lifestyle, her husband helped her discover an appreciation and love for rural life. They are parents to a strong and spirited toddler.

A career in education has given Beth many opportunities to serve, but she wants to do more for the people of this region. California’s 2nd Congressional District is diverse, with many pressing needs, and all of those needs need to be addressed in Washington, D.C. As the Representative for California’s 2nd Congressional District, Beth will work hard to ensure people in the region can succeed by supporting public education; promoting job creation and economic development; tackling the housing crisis; improving access to affordable healthcare; and making the region more resilient to fires, droughts, and power outages.
