My Top Issues
Housing
Increased rents, overwhelming upfront costs, and limited housing options are putting the squeeze on folks just trying to get by. To address systemic issues like these, we will need to increase protection with tools such as rent control, eliminating brokers fees, and rethinking zoning code to allow for more inclusive housing for all Salem residents.
Infrastructure / Transportation
By making our transportation networks work for us and reimagining parking policies, traffic flow, and pedestrian infrastructure, we can make Salem a safer city for all of it's residents regardless of how they choose to commute.
Wages / Job Benefits
It is incumbent on all of us to build on Salem's Wage Theft Ordinance and work to increase transparency and communication between the community and the city.
