- Priority #1: Advance more diverse and affordable housing to meet the growing demand for community and economic development. Housing prices have soared over 50% since 2020 (source), and our local supply has not kept up with the rapidly growing demand.
- Priority #2: Implement affordable childcare solutions to help working families to support workforce development. We can create local incentives for entrepreneurs to enter the childcare sector and advocate for quicker daycare business licenses at the local and state level. Working parents should not have to experience a constant lack of available and affordable childcare.
- Priority #3: Enhance tax relief for senior residents, most of whom live on a tight budget with a fixed income. I will work to create a city-operate rebate water/sewer bill program that could provide relief on their utility bills and work to find new potential solutions.
- A special note that I pledge to be a responsive and professional Alderman, and will often seek direct feedback and solutions from neighbors here in Ward 8. I do not work in a silo!
