Meet Joanna
Putting Families Ahead of Everything Else
Her entire career has been dedicated to our kids. Mother of four. Trustee and past President of the Petaluma School Board, and Sonoma County’s foster and homeless youth education coordinator. She delivered civil rights training for teachers, gave students a voice on the Board, and worked to close the achievement gap.
Joanna has always put our families first, not special interests.
Joanna helped bring greater equity and diversity to our schools, delivered new electric school buses to protect student health and the environment, and worked to close the achievement gap so every child has a fair shot at success. As the first African American elected in Petaluma, she understands firsthand the importance of representation, inclusion, and leadership that reflects the whole community.
Joanna believes government should work for the people it serves. She leads with integrity, listens to the community, and focuses on practical solutions that improve everyday life.
As Supervisor, Joanna will deliver real results to make Sonoma County a more affordable place to raise a family, build a business, or retire.
