Strongly supported dropping party affiliation for advisory boards, citing his experience on Transportation and Environmental Sustainability boards where party balance is irrelevant.

OpposedRobert GibsonJun 9, 2026

Urged the council to keep the party-balance requirement, arguing it guards against boards being stacked by one party and preserves a balanced candidate pipeline.

As Health Council chair, said the party requirement makes filling their 15-member board very difficult and supported eliminating it.
