Inclusion is important. Queer visibility is life saving and out loud allyship is a requirement for those of us who sit at the tables of power.

I support getting as many people housed and connected to services as possible. I also support increased sheltering – congregate shelters, an authorized campsite, temporary safe outdoor spaces - but would look to community partners to help fund and manage these efforts.

There are many pieces to the housing puzzle – affordability, a comprehensive houselessness strategy, the rights of renters to name a few -- and is critical work that requires the ability to be able to work with others on council and in our community to get things done.

The implementation of Our Missoula, the city’s new development code, has the potential to be a gamechanger when it comes to leveling the playing field for Missoula’s neighborhoods.

As a city, we can continue to advocate for real property tax reform and push back on corporate tax cuts as residents end up shouldering the burden.

We have to push our legislative delegation to do the right thing. And if they don’t, we have to organize locally to protect our neighbors.

I support increased access to quality childcare and getting creative to find ways to fund it.

Housing is human right.
