People and Place
Pacific Grove is loved for its beauty and strong sense of community.
Our city is truly special. It deserves thoughtful stewardship and experienced leadership as we solve today's challenges and look to a bright future.
I'm running for City Council in District 3 as a leader who cares deeply about the people who live here and the place we call home.
About Tara
I'm a wife, aunt, woman veteran, small business owner, and proud Pacific Grove resident.
I'm running for Pacific Grove City Council in District 3.
My life has been shaped by service, family, and a deep belief in the strength of community.
After nearly 22 years in the Air Force, I held senior leadership roles helping major institutions make responsible decisions and serve people well.
Today, I run a local strategic advisory firm and bring that same spirit of thoughtful service to Pacific Grove.
I seek to celebrate what makes PG special while empowering our city to thrive for generations to come.
