Economy

As alder, worked to preserve food access and increase affordable housing, citing 150 new units of affordable housing on South Park and new grocery store set to open in the summer of 2025.

Said, "Economic development rightly understood is a public-private partnership so that the social goods that the market cannot on its own deliver are in fact paid for by public investment, [such as] roads, police, [and] education."

Said, "Addressing our housing crisis should be our number one priority. Recruitment and retention will both be frustrated if we don't start flattening the curve on our rising housing costs."
