Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am running for City Council because residents have lost their voice in local government. As people from across the country decide to move here and make Raleigh their home, we have tackle issues of growth and development together. Leadership must work to ensure that resident concerns are part of the discussion as the community decided what we want the future of Raleigh to look like. Council members are elected to represent people and with the disbandment of Citizens Advisory Councils, our current representatives have eliminated our option to be informed and our place to be heard. In three years, they have not offered a suitable replacement for residents to interject with their government. It is important that we balance our want to be the most desired place to live, with the real world issues of um risked development that is pushing out entire communities who helped shaped Raleigh into what we are today.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Community Engagement
Affordable Housing
Environmental Justice

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

As a member of the Parks Board, I am passionate about our city Parks system and engaging residents in conversation. Zoning policy is also a subject that I believe impacts everyone around the city. How can municipal government work with developers and residents to make sure Raleigh grows equitably for all.
