Platform

  • Substantive debate has all but disappeared from Council. Even the most divisive issues pass unanimously.

    Whichever side of an issue you’re on, we can acknowledge the best solutions involve different perspectives and are arrived at in a spirit of compromise.

  • Growth and change are inevitable. But we need to meet people where they're at and give them a voice in what happens.

    New development should honor existing context, create place, and protect the environment.

    We must address displacement head on and consider market intervention for real affordability outcomes.

  • My journey into local politics began when I came across a wooded hillside across from Argo Nature Area clear cut for luxury $1.4M condos. The area was on the City’s list for protection, yet was cleared without City review.

    However you feel about development, protecting these places should be a non-negotiable.

    We can grow while preserving our mature tree canopy, nature areas and public green space.

  • We have one of the highest tax bases in the state. The current administration treats that as something to maximize. But I haven’t heard any discussion of our tax burden in any conversation about housing affordability.

    Seniors on fixed incomes can't downsize without increased burden because of what our taxes do to monthly costs. Tax revenue is something to steward responsibly, not something to chase as an end in itself.

  • In my line of work, I define a problem, perform root cause analysis and evaluate how a proposed solution addresses those underlying opportunities.

    I establish a baseline and track progress with quantifiable metrics. What gets measured, gets done.

    I’ll bring that same problem-first mindset to council.

On finding common ground on rezoning residential areas to avoid displacement of naturally occurring affordable housing by luxury development, and urging use of accurate population growth projections.
