Economic development goes hand-in-hand with opportunity and stability for our community. Over the past two years, I have supported small business opportunities, job training initiatives, and targeted investment in historically underserved areas of our district. My goal is clear: to build a more resilient local economy that lifts everyone up.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

I have actively supported and championed policies aimed at increasing the availability of affordable homes, protecting renters from unreasonable displacement, and streamlining the permitting and approval process for new housing developments.

Affordable &amp; Attainable Housing
