What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction? "While we have many challenges facing us as a growing city, such as traffic congestion, taxes and development, the lack of affordable/ workforce housing is most critical in order for us to maintain our diversity and our middle class. We need to allow for more density/height around our Metro stations to address this growing need."

Why should voters elect you? "As a lifetime resident, I have been involved in our community for many years providing proven leadership and experience in solving our many problems."
