Statement

When I was elected to this office, I said we need housing affordable enough that our families can live here. We need a city code that encourages local businesses, instead of tying them up with red tape. These are the things I've been working towards since I started serving on the Council.  Already we've removed several outdated laws from our municipal code, and I've led the charge on finding ways to remove the red tape that's keeping housing so expensive.  There's so much more we can do, but I need your support in order to do it!

This election season, look for the candidates with real plans that focus on Richland.  Too often our local leaders are beholden to political parties or other outside interests.  Voting for me gets you a councilmember who is independent. I am laser-focused on what's best for Richland, and not someone spouting empty buzzwords pasted in from some career politician's playbook.  City council seats are supposed to be non-partisan.  Whether or not they actually are ... is up to you.
