My Top Issues

Housing

I will advocate for clear, concise, and easily accessible guidelines regarding property standards, available online and at city hall.

Arts / Culture

I will support and expand a diverse calendar of community events and festivals throughout the year, reflecting the rich culture and interests of residents. This could include regular farmers' markets, music festivals in our parks, cultural celebrations, and holiday events.

Housing

I will push for more proactive code enforcement patrols in all neighborhoods of Fairfield to identify and address violations before they become significant problems.

Infrastructure / Transportation

I will support the implementation of smart water management technologies, such as advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and leak detection systems.

Housing

Vacant and abandoned properties are significant contributors to blight and can pose safety risks. I will work with city departments to develop a comprehensive strategy for addressing these properties, including streamlined processes for identifying ownership, encouraging rehabilitation, and, when necessary, facilitating demolition and repurposing of the land for community benefit or affordable housing.

Environment / Energy

I will support public education campaigns to raise awareness about water conservation, proper waste disposal, and the importance of reporting utility issues.

Housing

I will explore programs and partnerships that assist property owners, particularly seniors and low-income residents, with resources for property maintenance and repairs.

Environment / Energy

I will champion initiatives to integrate more renewable energy sources, such as solar and battery storage, into our local energy mix.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I will support robust and ongoing training programs that equip our firefighters and emergency medical techicians with the latest skills and knowledge. This includes specialized training in hazardous materials response, technical rescue, and advanced medical procedures.

Social Services

Tailored programs are essential to ensure all demographics are engaged. For youth, this means supporting after-school programs, summer camps, and recreational leagues that provide safe and enriching activities. For seniors, it means expanding social programs, wellness initiatives, and opportunities for lifelong learning and community contribution.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

While vehicle patrols are essential for rapid response, they often create a barrier between officers and residents. By increasing foot and bicycle patrols officers will have more opportunities for informal interactions.

Arts / Culture

I will work to support local artists, musicians, and cultural organizations, providing opportunities for them to showcase their talents through public performances, art installations, and workshops.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I will advocate for comprehensive mental health support programs, including counseling services, peer support networks, and stress management resources.
