I believe the city is at a critical moment and requires experienced leadership to address mounting challenges. I will restore e ective council governance by prioritizing essential services, infrastructure, a ordable housing, economic mobility and scal responsibility. I have the experience and track record to accomplish these goals.
Top priority is to return council to a culture of e ective, e cient governance. Stabilize the budget. Increase transparency with fewer closed sessions regarding energy costs. Prioritize bond funded projects to better manage our debt. Create policies to begin using the a ordable housing bond funds approved by the voters.
