A healthy city begins with stable homes and neighborhoods where people can build a life. Housing affordability is more than rent or a mortgage. It includes utilities, deposits, transportation, childcare, repairs, and the everyday costs that determine whether people can remain in their communities.
I will focus on creating real pathways to homeownership for Portlanders earning less than $75,000 a year, including first-time buyers and families who have historically been locked out of ownership. I will also work to lower household utility burdens, prevent displacement, and help longtime residents remain in their homes and neighborhoods.
Portland works best when daily life is close at hand: homes near shops, schools, parks, transit, services, and places where people can meet one another.
I will support walkable neighborhood centers, safe streets, small businesses, accessible public spaces, a wider range of housing choices, and development that strengthens the character and social life of each community. Growth should make neighborhoods more connected, useful, and welcoming, not simply add buildings.
Government should be understandable, accessible, and responsive to the people it serves. Portlanders deserve reliable services, responsible stewardship of public money, and meaningful influence over decisions affecting their neighborhoods.
I will focus on maintaining public assets before they fail, reducing waste, improving coordination across bureaus, controlling major-project costs, and measuring whether City programs produce visible improvements in people’s daily lives.
My approach is grounded in a simple principle: Portland should be designed and governed around the way people actually live.
That means listening to residents, supporting the small-scale places and relationships that make neighborhoods resilient, and recognizing that stable homes, safer streets, local businesses, public spaces, and effective services reinforce one another.
I am running for City Council to help build a Portland where working people can afford to stay, more families can own a home, neighborhoods remain connected, and government works in the places people experience every day.
