For Walnut Creek City Council

Thoughtful Solutions for a Wonderful Place to Live

"I BELIEVE OUR BIGGEST PROBLEMS ARE BEST SOLVED FROM A DIVERSITY OF VIEWPOINTS, BACKGROUNDS, AND EXPERIENCES. IN THE ER WE HAVE TO DIGEST LARGE VOLUMES OF INFORMATION, ASSESS IT CORRECTLY, AND TAKE THE RIGHT ACTION. I WILL BRING THIS PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE TO OUR CITY’S DECISION MAKING."

MY VISION FOR WALNUT CREEK

My vision for Walnut Creek is a city that is admired for an exceptional quality of life; a beautiful, diverse, sustainable city, with a thriving innovative economy, beautiful open space and arts, a downtown with unique experiences, dining and shopping, top notch healthcare and education.

We have all witnessed the recent disturbing trend in politics. The most extreme voices from the fringes have begun to dominate the conversation. We’ve seen what has happened in our neighboring bay area communities when the rational voices from the middle are lost and I know we don’t want that to happen here.

I believe my 20+ years of experience in the ER provides the skills of leadership, listening, empathy, problem solving and collaboration that are required to serve on the City Council.

Did you know that 28% of the companies in Walnut Creek are in healthcare? When forming a leadership council I believe great value comes from leaders with a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives and experience. Currently there are no members of the City Council with a Healthcare background. I believe my experience and perspective will be a valuable addition to our current council.

About Dr. Devinney

I have spent the last 23 years practicing medicine. My experience in the ER is not just about medicine, it is about empathy, listening, digesting large quantities of information in a relatively short period of time and solving problems.
