The time is NOW to co-create a climate & culturally resilient city.
Principles & Policies
-
I believe in just, community led and driven local government. A local government that reflects every corner of our community. Accountable and transparent to the people they serve and the natural resources they steward. Centering the voices and prioritizing intergenerationally disinvested and marginalized communities, building on the strengthens, and co-creating pathways for deeper collaboration in planning, implementation, evaluation. With the 10 year Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update in the hands of the next council, it is our turn to set the vision, the strategies, and priorities to meet increased climate demand and cultural unrest.

I believe that balancing people and planet is achievable through intersectional policy, funding streams, and cooperation. Urgent affordable housing needs must not pit people against natural resources. From green building materials/techniques to reducing energy consumption and water use, everyone has a role to play. Expanding occupancy, density, and investments in housing for low-, middle- wealthy people must be coupled with investments in habitat to offset the increased footprint of the built environment. For people experiencing homelessness, I advocate for an expanded focus on the entire unhoused population and not just those seen on Boulder Creek.
