Council Member, City of Sebastopol
Government works best when the people it serves can actually follow what it's doing. I'm here to make that happen.

About Phill
Sebastopol City Council, District 3
I've lived and worked in Sebastopol for years. Before the council, I spent most of my career in energy and sustainability policy — working to make sure utilities and local governments were actually accountable to the communities they serve, not just technically compliant.
I'm an entrepreneur, a Sonoma County Zero Waste board member, and I coach youth soccer. That last one matters because it keeps me anchored. You hear a lot more about what's actually broken in a city when you're standing on the sideline with other parents than when you're at a council meeting.
I ran for council because I was tired of government that's technically transparent but practically illegible. Agendas that require a law degree to parse. Budgets that don't explain what they mean. Decisions that feel inevitable when they weren't. I think the people being governed deserve better than that — and I mean to provide it.
