Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a substitute teacher, engineer, graduate student, planning commissioner, and advocate living in the Cedar Manor Neighborhood of St. Louis Park. Originally from South Florida, I moved to Minnesota in 2017 to begin my career as a design engineer and quickly found my home in the Twin Cities cycling community. Much of my work now is motivated by the need for safe, convenient connections to all destinations for everyone, regardless of age or ability.

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?

• Everyone deserves a stable home they can afford.

  Using land responsibly is one of the best ways to strengthen our communities and tackle the climate crisis. I’m proud of the work St. Louis Park has done to support affordable housing and increase tenant protections and I’m excited to continue this work by implementing parking reform and updating our zoning to encourage more walkable, transit oriented development.

  Expanding housing options and encouraging more density makes living in St. Louis Park not just more affordable, but more sustainable. Allowing people to work and play closer to where they live will make our community more convenient and resilient.
• Non-drivers must be prioritized in all transportation decisions. Non-drivers represent one third of the US population, including our youth, elderly, disabled, and low income neighbors. Everyone is a non-driver at some point in their lives, but our current transportation system does not provide a robust network to safely accommodate them. Cities that center non-drivers in their transportation systems are just better cities. They are places where moms have more leisure time because they’re not saddled with constantly chauffeuring their kids around. They are places where people feel safe on our streets on New Year’s Eve because they know that would-be drunk drivers could easily and cheaply walk or take transit to get home.
• Building relationships with our neighbors makes all of us stronger. Inclusion means providing equal opportunities for community members to participate in public processes, but residents that live in neighborhoods without active associations, and lack the capacity to organize them, miss out on opportunities to engage with the city and each other. By providing secure, stable, affordable housing, and a variety of mobility options, our communities will be well equipped to tackle our shared challenges together, but only if we have the resources to bring them together. Having a strong network of neighborhood associations will help city leaders better understand resident’s needs and implement solutions that work for all of us.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We all need stable, affordable homes, safe transportation options, and meaningful opportunities to connect with our neighbors to thrive together. I’m running to make certain that St. Louis Park continues to be a leader in implementing forward thinking policies including, but not limited to, zoning, parking, and transportation reforms, and tenant, worker, and environmental protections. I will work hard to ensure that all current and future residents are fully considered in every decision made by the council. I’m excited to continue learning and growing with our community by serving as your Ward 4 council member.

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

Listening, Learning, representation

What legacy would you like to leave?

We can not wait for the next tragedy to strike before addressing the safety concerns presented by our roads. As your council member I will represent non-drivers and work to create a Transportation Commission to give non-drivers a strong voice at city hall.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer because it gives me hope.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

The Sierra Club, Nicole Doescher Train, and Erik Noonan
