My Top Issues
Taxes / Budget
On the budget, Arruda said she’d like to be elected to better review the budget. But she said that cuts to schools are off limits, and that she hopes more funds can support the unhoused population.
Housing
Arruda’s priority for New Bedford is to implement evidence-based housing solutions to fight homelessness: “Finding everyone a safe place to live until they can receive help,”.
