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?

• Public Health and Safety.

• Smart Growth.
• Equity.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Affordable housing, weatherization and aging in place. Equally important, is language access in city government and maximizing resources in collaboration with state and county officials for community service grants.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

My core values for this campaign are to be engaged, accessible and reliable. I value shame reduction in local government, and pride myself on being literally, the candidate that folks can call upon to help with education about policies and offer assistance with plain language. My vision is that we have an Omaha for everyone, and that vision is not out of reach. By ensuring equity is built into and intentionally written into the policies we write, and in the way we listen to our constituents and residents, we can reach that goal.

I have been endorsed by national, state and local organizations, and am honored to have their support, and the opportunity to bring my leadership to Omaha.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
