My Top Issues
Infrastructure / Transportation

Environment / Energy
Sea walls and other measures for public property, with subsidized options for small residential private properties, will be critical investments to weather the next 50 years.

Housing
It's critical we invest in developing affordable units, offer pathways to ownership, safeguard against mass condo conversion, and limit rent increases to match market conditions.

Protected bike lanes, increased MBTA bus lines, and long-term projects like the South Salem Train Station are all projects that will benefit the lives of every Ward 5 resident long term.
