Update building and zoning codes to require rooftop solar and battery-ready systems in all new residential and commercial projects.

Prioritize city-owned land and rooftops for solar generation, starting with municipal buildings, community centers, and schools.

Vacant and underutilized properties will be repurposed for housing across all neighborhoods—not just clustered in certain areas.

Santa Fe's local economy depends on small business success. I’ll protect it with funding, policy support, and smarter planning.

My plan is clear: we will prioritize firefighter well-being through modern safety protocols, stronger protections from toxic exposure, and enhanced medical support.

Train and employ locals to plant trees, build green roofs, maintain solar systems, install gray water systems, and restore natural landscapes.

My plan strengthens the department from the inside out—improving recruitment, training, ethics, and neighborhood presence—while rebuilding the bridge between law enforcement and the people they serve.

Partner with state and federal clean energy programs (like the DOE’s Community Power Accelerator) to fund cooperative and public solar/wind installations.

We’ll advocate for common-sense state reforms that allow local rent stabilization, while ensuring landlords can still maintain and improve their properties.

My first 100 days in office will deliver what’s long overdue: on-time financial audits, a clear public reporting system, and a new era of fiscal responsibility.

We are contractor-heavy in departments that should be operated in-house. I will assess city functions and, where appropriate, bring jobs back under city management—ensuring transparency, oversight, and pride in our public workforce.

We will require all new housing developments to include affordable units.

Fix what’s broken—first. Traffic, water, sidewalks, and city services should be clean, safe, and up to modern standards.

Launch a city-wide gray water retrofit program starting with older homes and affordable housing units, supported by state environmental grants.
