The Early Years
Raised while her father served in the military, Porsche and her eight brothers were taught the values of hard work and giving back. It was from a young age that Porsche saw what it meant to work hard and still have to count every penny to make ends meet. This informs Porsche’s passion for investing in middle-class families and a growing economy, where everyone has the resources they need to thrive.
Inspired Public Service
Porsche’s parents helped build the foundation from which Porsche developed her own strong commitment to family, community, and service.
That’s why she has spent her life giving back. As a Planning Commissioner, Porsche led on improving our community and on the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps Board, she helped deliver job training and new opportunities for at-risk kids.
Porsche is a former deputy director of Sacramento Self-Help Housing, where she helped transition hundreds of families and individuals experiencing homelessness into secure housing.
Porsche’s compassion and deep experience was recognized by the Governor when he named Porsche to the California Housing Partnership Board, where she serves as Vice President and is delivering housing people can afford to thousands of working families across the state.
Porsche's Family

Porsche and her husband Ben have deep roots in Citrus Heights, a community they cherish and actively contribute to. They are the proud parents of two wonderful sons, who bring immense joy and meaning to their lives.

Their family's story is one of resilience, love, and a commitment to making Citrus Heights a place where every child can thrive.
Delivering on City Council
In 2018, Porsche was elected to serve on the Citrus Heights City Council where she's been getting results and delivering positive change for her community.
She spearheaded the historic $1.2 billion Sunrise Mall revitalization project while fighting for a stronger local economy, improving our roads, strengthening public safety, and making housing affordability a top priority.
Last year, Porsche was reelected by her neighbors for her tireless commitment to fighting for more resources so every family can have the quality of life they've earned and deserve, and every child has the education and opportunity to achieve their dreams.
