City Council District 3
It’s Time For A Fresh Start in City Hall. We need a new council member who welcomes input, shows up and listens, and gets results for all of us. I’ve always believed that when we take time to listen, celebrate the diversity of people and ideas, and focus on outcomes and not ideology, we can make real, positive change.
I’m proud of my experience building and managing Seattle’s single largest festival day, PrideFest, my active leadership in LGBTQ community and culture, and day-to-day work with our diverse, vibrant Capitol Hill businesses. On the City Council my door will always be open, and I’ll always put your needs first.
Expand All Types of Housing: Recent zoning changes promise much-needed affordable housing, but we need to do more. We also need options like duplexes, triplexes, and small multi-family buildings with single floor living for ADA accessibility and for seniors to age in place.
Build New Supportive Housing: We spend millions to assist the chronically homeless, but in high cost, temporary shelter. We need to focus on proven solutions like permanent supportive housing, and regional approaches to mental health and addiction that will result in better outcomes.
Real Help for Renters: Many renters are one financial emergency or rent increase away from eviction. Renters should have three month notice on any increases, and increases should be no more than 10% a year. We must provide financial assistance to bridge emergencies and robust legal support so renters can level the playing field with landlords in Seattle’s expensive and volatile housing market.
Expand Opportunity for New Small Business Owners: Because of systemic barriers, people of color, LGBTQ people, and women often have a harder time starting businesses—and lack advocacy in City Hall. I’ll build on my existing work to connect these neighbors to city services and the capital to start and maintain successful businesses.
Innovating to Combat Climate Change: Let’s expand our adoption of carbon reduction policies, from transportation electrification to flexible scheduling, and work with City Light so that Seattle becomes a leader on solar and wind energy. Let’s work with builders, architects and advanced material developers to provide opportunities and incentives for green building and remodeling.
I was raised by educators in a union household, and I’m the fourth generation of my family to call District 3 home. I’m endorsed by Seattle’s Firefighter Union, Seattle Times, Executive Dow Constantine, and more.
