Why should voters elect you?
I have lived in this county for almost 40 years, and I know my community with its diverse needs. I have also raised two children.
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
Affordable housing for medium-income and young professionals out of reach for these residents. Also, less affluent residents and seniors are forced out of their homes due to high rent and/or high property taxes.
