Issues:

Affordable housing is essential to keeping our community strong, safe, and accessible for working families, seniors, and first-time homebuyers. I will work to promote smart growth, responsible zoning, and public-private partnerships to ensure more people can afford to live where they work and serve.

Mental Health Resources

Mental health is just as important as physical safety, and our community deserves greater access to quality, affordable care. I will support partnerships between law enforcement, healthcare providers, and local organizations to expand resources, early intervention, and crisis response services.

Better pay for teachers and first responders

Our teachers and first responders dedicate their lives to educating our children and keeping our communities safe, and they deserve compensation that reflects their sacrifice and impact. I will advocate for competitive pay, stronger benefits, and budget priorities that invest in the people who serve us every day.
