Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• People over Politics: My office will be accessible, responsive, and ready to serve the district on day one.
• Responsible Development: Development IS coming to the Northside and we need to be sure it is equitable.
• Infrastructure Improvements: water & sewer, sidewalks, city steps, & paving.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We need to identify and work to change policies designed to work against certain groups. At the city level, specifically in District 1, responsible development is one such issue that comes to mind. I would begin by taking a look at zoning policies like inclusionary zoning and transit-oriented projects, to see if there is an opportunity to enact a more equitable system. I would also take a look at the city treasury sale process and see if there is a way to make it more transparent.|||
