Occupation: Businesswoman/District Rep. for Senator Brian Dahle
Age 45
Candidate statement
“I believe knowledge is power and power is with the people. I value service, leadership, and integrity and will be a voice of the people to the government and government to the people bringing transparency, accountability, and the peoples’ empowerment.
As your City Councilwoman, I will listen, respond, and connect you to the right people for solutions. My work advocating for constituents navigating CA’s bureaucratic agencies provides valuable insight into citizens’ concerns and who can solve them. As a fiscal conservative, I will promote innovative solutions to homelessness, safety, and the greater vision of Redding. I will hold city departments accountable as they serve citizens, encouraging transparency with the public.
Oftentimes we feel powerless when we don’t know where to go for help or that help exists. I will work to close that gap for the benefit of our citizens and local government. As a solutionist, I value responsiveness and connection and am available to meet with anyone. Learn more at VoteTenessa.com or call me at (530) 255-4033.”

Additional details
Regarding the Civic Auditorim/Redding Rodeo grounds: “I was excited to see that there was some type of dreaming and thinking what that could actually be. I didn’t support the sale or the lease.
What I supported was actually going through the surplus property process to figure out if that’s what we actually wanted to do. And that was the next phase of that. The surplus property act is very confusing. So we’ve swung at that twice and missed.”
