“I have a passion for helping organizations and their people when things are at their most chaotic and stressful. I am calm, focused, and see the big picture for your organization’s future.” – Rachel Kertz

My engagement and responsiveness within our community underscore my passion for San Rafael. I consistently respond to local issues in meaningful and actionable ways, collaborating with residents and community advocates to drive positive change. My key areas of focus include emergency preparedness, affordable housing, addressing homelessness, and advocating for older adults.

My tenure has been marked by a profound commitment to addressing the needs and concerns of our residents, ensuring a safer, more inclusive, and thriving community for all.

I am dedicated to amplifying the voices of all residents, fostering inclusivity, and ensuring that every concern is heard and addressed. By promoting engagement and civic participation, we can build a more vibrant and resilient San Rafael community.

I will continue to speak out against antisemitism and hate speech, ensuring that San Rafael remains a welcoming and inclusive community. My commitment is to work for ALL residents, standing against hate and fostering unity.
