My Top Issues
Taxes / Budget
As a candidate for City Council, my priority is to reduce the tax burden on residents while ensuring that our city remains a vibrant and sustainable place to live.
Government Reform
As your city councilor, I will work tirelessly to bridge the gap between City Hall and our communities. I will bring the city to you – whether it’s attending your HOA meetings, community gatherings, or other events – so that you know your concerns are heard and acted upon. The city must do a better job of reaching out to Ward 1, and I’m committed to making that happen.
Taxes / Budget
The key to achieving this balance lies in generating more revenue without increasing taxes on individuals. One often discussed possibility is the development of data centers, which has been highlighted in recent city discussions. While data centers are projected to generate substantial annual tax revenues, their development must be approached with all due diligence.
Education
Now, more than ever, we must rally behind our schools, ensuring every student has the resources to excel. Our children deserve nothing less, and I will fight for their success and support every step of the way.
Government Reform
I’m committed to balancing progress with preservation. I want to create a future where families feel connected to their neighborhoods, businesses thrive, and residents can move around safely and efficiently. Together, we can embrace the benefits of growth while addressing challenges with fairness and innovation.
Government Reform
I believe this is a chance to bring exciting opportunities to our city through a forward-looking vision. By providing good city services, fostering responsible zoning, ensuring safe and efficient streets, and holding developers accountable for contributing to the infrastructure their projects require, we can build a city that works for everyone. This approach allows us to enhance our community’s character, support local businesses, and improve the quality of life for current and future residents.
