My Priorities

Working Class Candidate for Working Class People

Lowering Housing Costs

I will support policies that increase the supply of affordable homes, cut unnecessary red tape that drives up construction costs, and expand first-time homebuyer assistance so more families can afford to live in our community.

Reducing Everyday Expenses

I’ll work to lower utility and energy bills through efficiency programs and fair rate protections, and push for targeted tax relief for middle-class and working families.

Making Childcare More Affordable

Childcare costs rival college tuition for many families. I’ll support expanding childcare assistance programs and incentives that help providers open more affordable childcare slots.

Strengthening Public Schools

Strong neighborhood schools reduce the need for costly alternatives and help families thrive. I’ll fight for stable school funding, classroom support, and career-technical programs that prepare students for good local jobs.

Protecting Immigration Rights

Supporting and protecting immigrant families as they work toward citizenship and build strong futures in our community.

Supporting Local Jobs & Small Businesses

When local businesses grow, wages rise and families keep more of what they earn. I’ll support small business tax incentives, workforce training, and policies that attract family-wage jobs to our area.

Protecting Healthcare Access

Unexpected medical costs can devastate families. I’ll work to protect access to care, lower prescription drug costs, and increase transparency so families aren’t hit with surprise bills.
