I support community\u2011centered strategies that strengthen trust, expand youth programs, improve lighting and infrastructure, and ensure first responders have the tools they need to serve with accountability and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-block-berthold-font-family has-regular-font-size wp-elements-9547a10c692cfef7f4873680d90697a0 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Jobs &amp; Economic Opportunity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Ward 6 has talent, creativity, and potential, but not enough investment. I\u2019ll champion job pathways in tech, trades, and clean energy, and work to bring resources to small businesses and underserved neighborhoods. I want to also incorporate union apprenticeship opportunities for students and adults alike to have access to all types of career pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-block-berthold-font-family has-regular-font-size wp-elements-81e179dec6034779859482760bec1abe wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Housing &amp; Actionable Solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">We need actionable solutions to address the housing crisis not tomorrow, but today, and that starts with approving state funding for projects that are ready to house people looking for stability. I will address our housing crisis by streamlining approval for affordable housing development and strengthening tenant protections to keep families in their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-block-berthold-font-family has-regular-font-size wp-elements-f8f1ccc047d4bf99d01af86e7dfcef07 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Infrastructure, Accessibility &amp; Clean Streets<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">From sidewalks to streetlights to storm drains, our neighborhoods need basic infrastructure that works. I\u2019ll prioritize repairs, accessibility upgrades, and long\u2011term planning that keeps Ward 6 safe, clean, and connected. Our residents thrive when the basic infrastructure needs are met so that they can feel safe in their streets, whether they walk, bike, or drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-block-berthold-font-family has-regular-font-size wp-elements-cc20a8d4bbf7ee3b594a864be2bed399 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Youth, Schools &amp; Creative Learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Our young people deserve opportunities that spark imagination and build futures. I\u2019ll advocate for mentorship, arts and robotics initiatives, and partnerships that keep kids engaged and supported. As someone who has spent over two decades serving those with disabilities, I will be a strong advocate for students with special needs to ensure they are supported and succeed in their academic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-block-berthold-font-family has-regular-font-size wp-elements-cee9b520c66f70c53519473bd2216a90 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:400\">Transparent, Ethical Government<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Riverside deserves leadership that is honest, accountable, and community\u2011driven. I\u2019ll push for open communication, responsible budgeting, and decision\u2011making that puts residents, not special interests, first. As Vice Chair of the Board of Ethics committee, I have proven my capabilities and commitment and will continue to hold our government to the highest standard for all our residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Safety Through Prevention &amp; Trust Every family deserves to feel safe.
