My Top Issues
Housing
Focus as many resources as possible on preventing individuals from tipping into houselessness.
Housing
In just the last 5-years (Apr. ‘20 v. Apr. ‘25) the median home price in the city of Missoula has increased by about 59%. This increase has significantly outpaced the national average and if I’m elected, the cost of housing and the creation of more affordable housing options will be a primary focus.
Housing
Continue to fund and support the work being done to curb houselessness by organizations such as the Poverello Center, MCES, Missoula Mobile Support Team and the Housing Solutions Fund.
Taxes / Budget
My budgetary goal is simple; work to establish a balanced operating budget by focusing resources based on need.
Taxes / Budget
I would advocate that departments take a look at their local budgets for potential opportunities to cut costs before we consider implementing additional property tax increases which would further exacerbate the unaffordable housing issue we’re already facing.
