I’m a public servant at heart and a practitioner of good government. As your Northwest District Councilmember, I will bring integrity and a deep commitment to the residents I serve. I’m greatly concerned about the state of our neighborhoods and will work tirelessly to:

• Improve housing and increase homeownership; everyone deserves quality housing and safe neighborhoods regardless of income.
  • Provide more subsidized, newly constructed and rehabilitated houses so people with low incomes can begin to build wealth.
  • Help current homeowners maintain their properties through grants, low-interest loans, and assistance with utilizing the state’s Historic Preservation Tax Credit and other programs.
  • Transform streets by making vacant lots work for us.
    • Community gardens, pocket parks and treed lots.
• Ensure youth programs are accessible throughout the Northwest, eliminating gaps in service.
  • Invest in programs for children and adults that increase their opportunity for educational and employment success.
• Reduce gun violence and crime.
  • Support gang intervention and diversion programs.
  • Provide necessary resources to solve shooting and homicide cases.
  • Promote an antiracist police department, make sure domestic violence gains attention, and continue expanding mental health solutions.
  • Ensure the success of the Police Accountability Board and its mission.
• Provide excellent oversight of the city’s finances.
  • Invest in keeping our streets free of litter and graffiti.
  • Update water and sewer lines.
  • Accelerate the replacement of trees.
    • Increase air quality, cool neighborhoods, and strengthen property values.
