Retired Architect. Artist. Activist. I am committed to supporting a thriving Petaluma that looks to the future while respecting its past. To a community that grows responsibly while preserving its unique history. We can do both, if we raise our voices to demand consensus-based solutions.

Jane Hamilton Is a former Petaluma City Council member who delved deeply into city planning with the Petaluma River Plan and The Central Petaluma Specific Plan.  She was part of the council that accomplished making our downtown a part of the National Historic Registry. She believes that economic growth and housing do not need to interfere with or dissipate the precious resource we have in the downtown. “Other historic towns have succeeded in growing and preserving their character and so can we.”
