Criminal Justice / Public Safety Our safety strategies need to protect and respect every resident, regardless of their background. We achieve this through a holistic approach that pairs traditional law enforcement with unarmed crisis response teams for mental health and social emergencies. To ensure these systems work for everyone, I am committed to increasing transparency and supporting the goals of the Independent Community Police Oversight Commission. Housing I will fight for robust tenant protections and expanded legal resources to ensure that no resident is ever forced out by unfair practices or poor living conditions. My priority is to strengthen our local ordinances so that every Ann Arbor renter can enjoy the long-term stability and dignity of a home that is safe and truly affordable. Economy Small businesses are the heartbeat of our local economy, and city bureaucracy shouldn't be a barrier to their success. I will apply my professional background to simplify city permitting and licensing processes, making it easier for Ann Arbor’s entrepreneurs to thrive. By streamlining these systems, we protect the local ownership and dynamic energy of corridors like Stadium Boulevard and Packard. Environment / Energy Tackling the climate crisis is an economic, racial, and generational imperative that requires urgent, science-based action. I will champion the goals of A2Zero by expanding active infrastructure, safeguarding our green spaces, and investing in resilient stormwater systems. We must act now to secure our neighborhoods against the threat of catastrophic weather.
