going door to door, building relationships and to get to know my neighborhood; advocating
for those who are unable

ISSUES - AND WHAT I'M DOING ABOUT THEM
Housing - Affordability, Availability, Accessibility
We have been able to match folks to resources and to help five outdoor camps get started on a housing pathway. Additionally, expanded the capacity of the Lawrence Community Shelter. Approved multiple projects in the pipeline that have received funding from the city for affordable housing, supportive housing, and programs to help keep folks in their homes. Supported multiple senior affordable housing and child care projects/programs.
Economic Development that works
Supporting local company/job creators like Peaslee Tech, The Chamber, CORE, KUIP and KU Small Business Development. Invested in multiple commercial projects to start to reduce property tax burdens on residents. Supported new land development code which allows us to build more units, encourage more businesses, and disperse our resources more efficiently.
Resiliency
Continue addressing aging infrastructure throughout the city; implementing our current asset development plan to address increased future costs in an increasingly unpredictable landscape.
