I believe in giving back. I founded 100 Ada, which has raised nearly $200,000 for local nonprofits, including Jesse Tree and CATCH. I believe in the power of giving rather than in using government to compel people to give.
I serve on the Ada County Housing Authority Board, bringing my experience as a realtor and a landlord to help our leaders make good decisions about growth.
I have had many adventures in my life! I lived in Mexico for twelve years, not only learning fluent Spanish but fighting for the people there by drawing attention to inadequate infrastructure and putting pressure on government officials to get it fixed.
I’m running for Boise City Council because the people of this great city deserve elected leaders who listen to them!- The biggest issue in Boise right now is elected leaders who don’t listen to the citizens. The most common thing I hear from members of my community is that the staff and council members aren’t listening to their concerns. They’re just doing what they want to do with little to no input from the people who are affected. The city’s own Planning and Zoning Commission initially said that moving the Interfaith Sanctuary was a bad idea, yet the Council proceeded anyway. I will always listen to citizens!
- The next issue is growth. So many people want to move to Boise to share in this beautiful city, and we need to manage that growth smartly or else risk losing what makes us special in the first place. As a realtor, I understand the housing market and what buyers are looking for. As a property owner with tenants, I recognize the challenges of renting. I want Boise to be a city for everyone, where renters can aspire to own their own homes someday if they choose. Property taxes don’t just affect homeowners—landlords often pass these costs on to renters as well. We need more housing, including workforce housing, predictable zoning, and consistent impact fees so that homebuilders can build and buyers can buy.
- Finally, we have to do something about property taxes. It’s time to stop treating the citizens of Boise as a piggy bank for some council members’ wish list. We have needs, and we have wants. I support our needs—public safety, maintenance of our parks, the operation of the airport. Beyond that, we need to let people keep their own money.
