I am a father of three, spouse to a strong partner, and a local family physician. I have other hats I wear, including negligent pear farmer, amateur beekeeper and recreator in all seasons. But these first three roles are the ones that ground me and inform my decision to run for local office.
  • We can have a better local political conversation. Doing so requires changes to our campaigns, our power structures, our culture, and ourselves. There is no easy prescription, but I’d like to start with shorter campaigns no longer bought and paid for by wealthy corporations, more competitive maps to decrease extremism, and working to see the humanity in those with whom we disagree.
  • Holistic community health goes far beyond the walls of our clinics and hospitals. Our investments in nutrition, housing, education, mental health, and a healthy planet are both cost effective and the right thing to do.
  • Working families, who will bear the brunt of inflation, also bear the brunt of the nation's most regressive tax system. Our poorest working families pay state taxes and fees at 3-4 times the rate of well-off families. The best way for working families to keep up and thrive is for the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share.
I am passionate affordable and accessible healthcare and mental healthcare for all families.

I am passionate about improving the structure and the conversation in politics to make it more representative and responsive.

I am passionate about the health of the planet. It's the only one we've got...though I'm open to ideas about terraforming Mars.
Yes. Relationships aren't a fix for the broken incentives that drive our politics, but our current level of dehumanizing discourse at best prevents progress and at worst is dangerous. We cannot problem solve if we cannot even sit at the table.
Independent rather than bipartisan. Although our current model is better than a winner-take-all gerrymander, it still lends itself to the trading of safe seats. Safe seats don't sound bad but often lead to the most extreme candidate, as the lack of an opposing party makes one worry only about being outflanked by one's own party. This makes it harder to find common ground or to hold views out of step with the far left or right of the party.

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
