Strong neighborhoods are the foundation of a strong Portland. I will work to ensure that families and residents can safely live, work, and thrive across our city. Here are my policy priorities:

A compassionate approach to helping those experiencing homelessness; addressing the need for treatment and services while ensuring residents feel safe and supported.
Strongly supporting efforts to ensure pedestrians, particularly our children, can safely walk along our streets without fear of dangerous driving. This includes safe streets and intersections and more stringent enforcement of traffic laws.
Working to protect and maintain the parks, trails, and public spaces that make Portland special.
Advocating to work with, and not against, local businesses, as they contribute so much to what makes neighborhoods livable by creating jobs and building community. That includes supporting policies that encourage entrepreneurship and reduce unnecessary barriers to help keep Portland economically vibrant.
