My Priorities
Affordable Housing
Today, it’s hard for so many, even the public servants essential to our society (such as teachers, nurses, and EMTs) struggle to afford to live here. We all deserve affordable housing in our city.
Voted for scalable water rights and fees for water, raw water, and wastewater, encouraging builders to produce more small, affordable homes (Dec. 2025)
Supported funding for a Housing Action Plan (May 2026)
Supporting Small Businesses
My father was a small business owner and working for him was the first job I ever had. I know how essential small, local businesses are to a strong local economy.
I want to see local tax breaks going to help small businesses get their start and weather harsh economic times, not to large corporations.
Voted against local tax incentives for the Costco/Realberry deal (Feb. 2026)
Public Safety
I want to increase our fire department’s funding and staffing to sustainable levels. The national standard for minimum staffing is four firefighters per engine. We are not meeting this standard.
I also want to expand the co-responder model (through our existing relationship with SummitStone Health Partners).
Voted for an additional contribution of roughly $400,000 to the Loveland Fire Rescue Authority (Oct. 2027)
Workers’ Rights
I believe that Lovelanders deserve good-paying jobs so they can live and work in the same city.
I will also be a strong advocate for a livable minimum wage and a robust benefits package for city staff, and I will support any efforts to unionize.
Strategic Homelessness Plan
There are studies, existing plans, and local experts (nonprofits and faith-based organizations) that we can utilize to tackle homelessness. I will advocate for solutions, not band aids, to make our community safer for all residents.
The People Should Decide What Our City Funds
It’s your tax money, you should decide how it’s spent. I am a strong supporter of
participatory budgeting and want to see our
city to adopt this practice.
Smart City Planning
I support making our city’s complete neighborhoods model a mandatory plan that all developers and builders must follow. A complete neighborhood is one where everything you need on a day-to-day basis is all a short walk, bike, or public transit ride away.
Library Funding
I believe that libraries are essential. I want to see the Loveland Public Library open back up to its original operating hours as soon as possible.
Libraries offer an essential place for all Loveland residents, from kids to seniors, to
learn and socialize.
A Thriving Downtown
Our city deserves a thriving downtown. I want to implement a vacancy tax rate to encourage downtown property owners to get their vacant properties filled.
