I am a worker, just like most of you. I worry about making my rent every month and saving for the future. I love this town for its history and its promise, but mostly because of its people. We can work together to solve the issues that are preventing us from realizing our potential.

My biggest concerns are the challenges developers are presenting our town by proposing builds that don't match the character of our community, the affordability and accessibility of housing, and returning a sense of safety to our streets by confronting and finding solutions to the converging crises of drug use, mental health, and housing that every municipality across our country is now facing. There are solutions out there, and we can do better here.
