Responsible economic development
I know how vital it is to support small businesses, as I’ve been a small business owner myself. Our local businesses are the backbone of our community, and keeping our dollars local strengthens our economy. By investing in infrastructure improvements, creating vibrant small business districts, and ensuring accessible resources for entrepreneurs, we can attract jobs and enhance the quality of life for all residents.
Affordable Housing and Preventing Displacement
As a mother and an advocate, I’ve seen firsthand the need for housing that people can afford. We must streamline affordable housing development and invest in solutions like community land trusts to reduce displacement. Keeping families in their homes and supporting homelessness prevention programs are essential to ensuring stability and equity in our community.
Public Safety and Community-Based Solutions
Public safety starts with listening to our community. I support strengthening community-based policing, expanding mental health crisis response teams, and funding innovative, community-led safety initiatives that deliver results. Safe neighborhoods come from addressing root causes and fostering trust between residents and law enforcement.
