"There is no Democrat or Republican way of cleaning the streets"

-Fiorello La Guardia

The everyday work of a city isn’t partisan. Clean streets, safe neighborhoods, and reliable utilities matter to all of us. My commitment is to advocate for the whole community on practical solutions, shared benefits, and a focus on what serves residents' needs.

Sustainability

On the city council, I will advocate for smart development that accommodates middle-income housing, affordable housing, water security, shade on our streets, benefits to local businesses, and traffic solutions.

Housing

Like many young professionals, I find myself stuck in the middle: priced out of homeownership and earning too much for affordable housing. On the City Council, I will advocate for workforce housing and prioritizing transit-oriented development. My passion to get the right type of housing in town led to me joining the Healdsburg Housing Trust, a community land trust.

The Local Economy

Leasing costs are hurting businesses and leaving us dangerously dependent on tourism revenue. On City Council, will advocate for small businesses, reducing obstacles for starting businesses at home, and providing mentorship for first-time business owners.

Utility Planning

I am proud that Healdsburg has an independent electric grid. In 2021 we completed the largest floating solar array in the US, which now produces ~8% of the city's electric needs. On City Council, I will advocate for reducing barriers to transitioning to solar and using solar panels to provide parking lot shade.

Traffic & Public Transit

I use public transit, but many residents have no choice but to drive for travel. Our local bus doesn't serve all communities equally, especially seniors. On City Council, I will advocate for a transit system with better frequency, special shuttles for plaza events, and expanded coverage.
