Economic development for our local businesses. Protecting our coastline while addressing climate change impacts. Community engagement from our diverse perspectives and increasing transparency.”

  • Priorities: “I will fiercely advocate for our most pressing concerns, including promoting affordable housing, providing resources for vulnerable community members, supporting new and existing small businesses, maintaining the beauty and safety of our public spaces, and encouraging strategic investments to create neighborhoods and infrastructure that are more resilient to change.”
