My Priorities

Intentions aren’t enough. My commitments to you.

1

A well-kept city

Potholes mended. Park benches and playgrounds repaired. Litter collected. Graffiti removed. Rats under control. The basics, done right.

My commitment

I will be a persistent voice with city agencies for addressing needed repairs. I will also advocate for better institutional solutions for maintaining our public infrastructure and public spaces.

2

A safe city

We should all feel safe strolling down the street or riding the Metro at any time of day.

My commitment

I will advocate for preventative, early interventions that provide the vulnerable and the troubled the support they need (housing, mental health interventions, etc.).

3

An affordable city

Four walls and a roof is not too much to ask. For our public servants. For working families. For young families. To ensure our city is a community for all.

My commitment

I will advocate for changes to the DC Comprehensive Plan that would enable construction of thousands of new housing units. I favor diverse options for increasing housing supply, while protecting our green spaces and historical architecture.

Every new unit is a home for a family, a young person, a retiree: a new neighbor.

4

A walkable, bikeable city

A city where we all can safely walk and bike about town, and achieve DC’s Vision Zero of no serious bike and pedestrian injuries or fatalities.

My commitment

I will advocate for more pedestrianized spaces and dedicated bike lanes to protect us all: pedestrians, bikers, and drivers.
