I have been involved in political activisim since 1988. Between 1996 and 2004, I was a member of the Santa Monica City Council. Between 2000 and 2002, I served as the Mayor of Santa Monica. I've also served on various regional, state and national boards and commissions.

In 1990, I helped co-found the Green Party of California. Since 1988, I have been active in Green politics on many levels, from the local to the global.

This web site chronicles my record over this period, and has been one of my attempts to be accessible and accountable to the communities I've served, through links to publications, videos and audios I've appeared in, and articles and opinion pieces I've written.
