Priorities. Issues that will directly affect You. Me. US.
I value:
🛡️ Safe & Fair Communities
I back smart public safety measures and fair, community-focused policing. I advocate for safety strategies that protect all residents, while building trust between neighbors and first responders.
🚍 Streets That Work for Everyone
From traffic to transit, I am focused on “all things streets.” I am working to make it easier and safer to walk, bike, bus, and drive — with sufficient parking, safe bicycle and pedestrian lanes, and accessible public transportation.
🏘️ Housing You Can Attain
I advocate for a variety and balance of attainable and sustainable housing that reflects the diversity of needs of our residents. I favor development that honors existing neighborhoods while preparing for a future where everyone has a place to call home.
🌍 Environmental Justice & the F-35s
From PFAS in the water to F-35 noise pollution, I support addressing environmental threats head-on. We need accountability, transparency, and long-term solutions that protect our neighborhoods and our health.
💰 Responsible Budgets, Real Results
I believe fiscal responsibility is key to a city's success. I'll continue to work to secure long-term resources, prioritize community needs, and make sure your tax dollars support programs that matter most to you — now and into the future.
🧩 Connected Communities
Bridging neighborhoods takes more than policy — it takes presence. I'll work to bring people together through community sessions, neighborhood outreach, and inclusive leadership that centers residents' voices in every decision.
🏗️ Growth with Intention
Growth is good — when it’s thoughtful. I advocate for progress that reflects our values, respects our past, and plans for a more inclusive, equitable, and balanced future.
🛍️ Small Business, Stronger District
District 12 runs on local businesses — from bold start-ups to long-standing family-run companies and trusted nonprofits. I champion the full spectrum of enterprise, supporting innovation while honoring the legacy businesses that continue to anchor our local economy.
From knocking on thousands of doors, facilitating dozens of in-person community engagement sessions, and pushing for the community-input budget sessions during the deficit crisis, I know that District 12, and the diversity of people in it, is concerned about having a say in their city.
As your Alder, coming from a heritage of advisors, advocates and changemakers, I care deeply about community. I know that:
“Like family, you want to live and be part of a neighborhood that you love, where there is a sense of security, support, access; where you have and see economic growth and opportunity and can afford it. You want a growing neighborhood that tends to its issues, its relations, its community, in community, just as you do in your own family, with your own friends, in your own backyard.”
