My Top Issues
Housing
I will not forget that housing and transportation are two sides of the same coin and approaches for one that do not consider the other are unlikely to succeed.
Housing
As a councilmember, I will work to make it easier and less expensive to build new homes of all shapes and sizes so that young people can find a small starter home or place they can afford to rent near their job or in the community where they grew up.
Infrastructure / Transportation
As a councilmember, I will support policies that preserve and expand our access to parks and open spaces, both locally and regionally.
Infrastructure / Transportation
As a councilmember, I will always keep an eye toward fostering more community connections. I will support policies that encourage the creation of more public spaces that support not only our social fabric, but also the ability of our small business community to thrive.
Economy
I will work to create the conditions under which entrepreneurs have opportunities to succeed locally while workers have a diversity of employment options.
Environment / Energy
I will push for more street trees and types of buildings and development that coexist harmoniously with trees and keep our city green (literally and figuratively).
Environment / Energy
I will thoughtfully balance the importance and value of nearby greenery with preventing further devastation of forests closer to our urban boundaries.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
I will fight for changes that make our city’s systems more robust and resilient. I will take the long view and push for data-driven strategies that maximize the safety we get for our hard-earned tax dollars.
Infrastructure / Transportation
My goal will be to decrease congestion by investing in viable alternatives to driving for those who want to use them.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
As a councilmember, I will continue to support and champion the city’s holistic approach to crime prevention and homelessness.
Infrastructure / Transportation
As a councilmember, I will support efforts to make transportation in Kirkland easier, safer, and more financially and ecologically sustainable.
Housing
I will support policies that make it easier for older adults to age-in-place — downsizing without having to leave the communities to which they belong.
