Why I’m Running
I am running to bring Progressive Democratic values to City Hall. Time and again, we have been disappointed by our elected leaders who prioritize the interests of luxury developers, oil and gas companies, and other special interest groups over the interests of the people. It’s time for bold change, and I’m ready to lead.
