Issues

Protecting the hard-earned money of working families is crucial to ensuring the success of residents. In my own city, I created a Financial Empowerment Center and I plan to grow this program county-wide to support the financial success of our community members.

Affordable Housing is a pressing concern faced by counties nationwide. Housing is more than shelter; it provides a quality of life and stability. Partnerships focused on expanding housing options, in collaboration with organizations and stakeholders, are vital to addressing this challenge.

Investing in sustainable infrastructure and walkable communities will lead to better air quality and happier, healthier neighborhoods. Working with cities to ensure more access to public transit, bicycle infrastructure, and accessible sidewalks creates a safer, stronger county.

By preserving and expanding parks and recreation areas in our valley, we can create sustainable, climate-resilient communities that benefit us and future generations.
