My Top Issues
Taxes / Budget
We must pass an excessive income tax on big businesses and other forms of progressive revenue to ensure we can fund housing and other critical services without increasing the cost burden on working families.
Economy
As your council representative, I will tackle issues head-on by advocating for policies that lower the cost of living and make life easier for everyone.

Housing
Social housing is the key to address the housing shortage, lower housing costs, and create good union jobs building green, walkable communities Downtown, by the Tacoma Mall, and other transit-centered neighborhoods.
Wages / Job Benefits
We need to raise Tacoma’s minimum wage to at least 20.29/hour and rising with inflation, the same as in King County.
