Putting My Experience to Work
I am committed to being a commissioner who listens first and acts with integrity. My extensive community involvement has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges facing our families, from infrastructure needs to economic growth. On the commission, I will prioritize transparency and accessibility.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
I will campion renters and expand homeownership opportunities by expanding county rental-assistance programs and emergency eviction-prevention funding, fast-tracking ADU and affordable-housing permits, funding eviction‑prevention legal aid, and creating a Rental Navigation Hub to connect tenants with resources; simultaneously I will provide homeownership more attainable through down-payment and closing-cost assistance, targeted mortgage and rehabilitation loan programs for first-time and moderate-income buyers, foreclosure-prevention counseling, inclusionary or density-bonus policies that create for-sale affordable units, and financial‑education and homebuyer counseling to ensure long-term stability.
ECONOMIC
I will fund and expand mobile pantries, community fridges, and SNAP outreach/enrollment drives; invest in targeted workforce programs linking training to job placements, apprenticeships, and certification subsidies; provide childcare and transit stipends to remove barriers to work; require local-hire preferences and living-wage clauses in county contracts while offering hiring incentives to employers; and support small-business technical assistance, microgrants, and procurement set-asides for disadvantaged entrepreneurs.
COMMUNITY SAFETY
I will prioritize green stormwater infrastructure and mitigation projects while proactively applying for state and federal resilience grants; produce an equity-weighted pavement and sidewalk repair plan and allocate funds for immediate high-need fixes like school routes, transit stops, and ADA ramps; adopt Complete Streets policies with low-cost safety treatments such as crosswalks, curb extensions, and improved signage; and create rapid-response flooding teams plus early-warning and community evacuation planning.
