Community is about trust, safety, and opportunity. It means making sure people feel protected, heard, and supported in their everyday lives. I believe public safety and justice must go hand in hand, and that strong communities are built when we invest in people, not just systems.
My Community platform focuses on keeping neighborhoods safe while expanding access to mental health care, education, and workforce pathways that help people build stable lives. That includes supporting law enforcement while demanding accountability, reducing gun violence through common-sense measures, strengthening labor protections, and ensuring healthcare is accessible for all.
