Outside of City Hall, I’ve run a small business, managed campaigns, and been deeply involved in local organizing, from supporting our public schools and serving on local Boards to statewide Democratic work, because I believe strong communities are built from the ground up. I raised my child in the same public schools I attended, gives me a daily reminder of what’s at stake: safe neighborhoods, stable housing, reliable infrastructure, and a city that listens to the people who live here. I’ve seen firsthand how decisions at the city level affect not only single parents like me, but seniors trying to age in place, students navigating a changing world, families struggling with rising costs, and small businesses working hard to stay afloat. I’m running for City Council because Tempe deserves leadership that is practical, transparent, and community‑first. I want residents to feel heard, respected, and included in the decisions that shape their lives.
My goal is simple: to make Tempe a place where people can put down roots, feel safe, and trust that their city is working for them.- My campaign is about making Tempe’s government transparent, responsive, and grounded in real community needs. Residents deserve clear information, honest budgeting, and decisions that prioritize safe streets, reliable infrastructure, and housing people can afford. I want Tempe to be a place where people feel informed, respected, and included in the process. Rebuilding trust means making city government easier to access and ensuring residents’ voices genuinely shape the choices we make together.
- Tempe is facing real challenges, like aging infrastructure, rising housing costs, and pressure on public safety and social services. We need disciplined, forward‑thinking stewardship that invests in essential repairs, modernizes outdated systems, and uses every dollar wisely. I support creative, community‑driven housing solutions, protections for seniors and longtime residents, and implementing the proven Housing First model of homelessness prevention here in Tempe. I believe in data‑driven budgeting, long‑term planning, and prevention rather than punishment. Addressing problems early, rather than paying more later. Tempe’s future depends on leadership that balances compassion with discipline and earns residents’ trust every day.
- Tempe’s future growth must be climate‑smart and community‑driven. I support moving from voluntary to mandatory adoption of the International Green Construction Code so new development is energy‑efficient, resilient, and built for our climate reality. We need creative shade. More trees, yes, but also shade structures and cool‑corridor design, as well as stronger cooling strategies to protect people in extreme heat. And every development project should reflect neighborhood priorities, balance growth with livability, and preserve historic character where it truly matters.

My Priorities
Voice for the People
I’m a passionate advocate for the underrepresented, with a proven history of service, community engagement, and speaking up when it counts.
There needs to be more transparency in government, and Tempe deserves leaders that are committed to honesty, accountability, and accessibility. Leaders who will listen and act with integrity.
My goal is to bridge the communication gap that seems to be growing between city government and the community.
Housing with Heart
As a renter and single mom, I know the housing struggle is real - and I’ll lead with empathy and urgency.
I support the voter-approved 2050 General Plan, and believe we need smart, sustainable development that respects zoning laws.
Tempe doesn’t just need "more housing" - we need to prioritize affordable housing, build up student housing near ASU so that we can reclaim our neighborhoods for working families, and take a deeper look at creating more elder care housing, so that our aging population can stay in the city they know and love.
Creative Commerce
Tempe’s vibrant arts scene is a cornerstone of the city’s identity, enriching community life and attracting visitors from across the Valley. Preserving and investing in local arts supports creative expression, cultural connection, and economic vitality.
At the same time, fostering the growth of small businesses and supporting responsible economic development from large employers ensures a diverse and resilient job market for Tempe residents. By creating a balanced ecosystem that also empowers nonprofits to thrive, we can build a more inclusive, dynamic city where creativity, commerce, and community flourish together.
