My top priorities are restoring affordable housing, strengthening tenant protections, improving local government transparency, and ensuring inclusive, community-centered leadership. I also want to invest

We need to treat housing as a human right—and tackle homelessness with both compassion and accountability. The current approach isn’t working. Public dollars are spent year after year, yet the crisis deepens. That has to change.

Here’s my approach:

• Rent Stabilization: Cap excessive rent hikes to protect working families from being priced out.
• Tenant Protections: Provide legal support, enforce fair eviction policies, and give tenants the opportunity to buy buildings before they’re sold to outside investors.
• Encouraging Affordable Housing Development: Partner with nonprofit and community-driven developers to build housing that people can actually afford. Reform zoning laws to allow for a broader mix of housing types, like duplexes, triplexes, and courtyard homes.
• Focus on Impact, Not Optics: Target support toward those ready to engage with services, ensuring resources aren’t wasted where there’s no path forward.
• Protect Taxpayer Dollars: Help those who want help—and be honest about what’s not working. We can’t afford to spend endlessly on systems that don’t produce results.
• Expand Low-Barrier Shelter Options: Provide safe, clean transitional spaces that lead to permanent housing, not just temporary fixes.
• Strengthen Outreach: Use trained teams to build trust, connect individuals with services, and follow through with ongoing support.

We owe it to our unhoused neighbors, our communities, and our taxpayers to make every dollar count—and every outcome matter.
