| Collapse all
- Affordability and Public Safety My priority is making life more affordable and communities safer for families in the 21st District. Rising costs, high property taxes, and public safety concerns strain working households. I support responsible budgeting, transparency in state spending, and protecting essential services. Public safety should be practical and community-focused—supporting law enforcement, accountability, and proven prevention strategies. Families deserve neighborhoods where they feel secure and a government that respects taxpayers while delivering reliable results.
- Health, Prevention, and Quality of Life Health is both a personal and economic issue. I support policies that prioritize prevention, wellness, and access to mental and physical healthcare. My Department of Happiness proposal focuses on proactive solutions—community fitness, mental health resources, nutrition education, and social connection—to reduce long-term healthcare costs and improve quality of life. Investing in prevention strengthens families, lowers public spending over time, and builds healthier, more resilient communities across the 21st District.
- Accountable, Responsive Government Voters deserve representatives who listen and deliver. I believe in transparent, ethical, and accessible government that stays connected to constituents year-round. I support reducing waste, cutting unnecessary red tape, and focusing on solutions that work in the real world. My approach is practical and independent—working with anyone, across party lines, to deliver results that benefit the 21st District.
