My Priorities
Politicians have platforms, but people have priorities.
We need REAL solutions to the challenges in our city. If elected to city council I will address the root causes of the problems Portlanders face every day.
Housing
Housing is the #1 issue that Portlanders face every day. To address the housing crisis, a multifaceted approach is essential. We need to:
-
Invest in affordable housing
-
Provide shelter alternatives
-
Encourage mixed-use developments
-
Increase rental assistance and eviction support
Addiction
Addressing the addiction crisis in Portland requires a comprehensive approach focusing on prevention and treatment. We need to invest in:
-
Educational programs in schools
-
Addiction treatment services
-
Narcan distribution
Public Safety
Making Portland safer requires us to prioritize community engagement and trust-building. I will focus on:
-
Fully funding the Portland Street Response
-
Work to rebuild trust between the community and the police.
-
Invest in social services and community programs that help reduce crime.
Accountability
Our city council is out of touch with the people. I want to establish a culture of transparency, accountability, and active citizen engagement in city hall. We can work together for a more responsive city government in Portland.
