I believe in showing up for our community.

Issues. Views.

Housing

Missoula is experiencing a housing crisis. I believe in being a dedicated, hard-working partner in addressing it.. Missoula needs solutions today and, while there are no quick fixes to this complicated problem, we need to act fast.

Houselessness

I believe that as a community we can work together to create a comprehensive strategy to address houselessness. Like so many other communities, we are working with unprecedented need and limited resources. We need to be flexible and get creative, while also maintaining the dignity of our houseless neighbors.

Equity

I believe the pandemic brought into relief cracks in the systems that are meant to support every citizen. Unfortunately, these systems only support some of us. From the Missoula wage gap to affordable childcare to underlying systemic racism, I believe we need to apply an equity lens to Missoula’s most pressing issues.

Development

I believe Missoula is positioned for unprecedented, transformational growth and how we respond to it over the coming months and years will shape our city for generations. We have been working for years on overhauling our unified development code and how we can shape the way grow.

Elevate

I believe there are persistent barriers to everyday people accessing power in our community and that we need to elevate these voices, so we all have a seat at the table, and a say in the policies that affect our lives. As a community we must reduce barriers for women, for our BIPOC and LGBTQ+ neighbors, and for others who have traditionally had less access to power.

Climate

I believe the climate crisis is real and that it’s critical that we all do our part for our community and our planet. As the chair of the Parks, Conservation and Climate Committee on City Council, I work everyday to bring the climate into all conversations and decision making processes at the city.
