  • I believe we should expand soil lead testing in Jefferson County.
  • I want to help educate community about conservation efforts and get empower their involvement.
  • I want to support urban agriculture so that we can address food insecurity.
I’m very organized. This helps me take on many different challenges and thoroughly research the best course of action in any situation.
My first job out of high school was as a janitor in the summer before I left for college.
I strongly believe in public accountability and the responsibility of government officials to be transparent about their decision making. I think the best way to ensure accountability is through democracy, and that means getting ordinary people involved in government work. Sunshine is good, everyone should have a stake in what we do because it affects them.
