MY POLICY VISION
Throughout my campaign, I have been humbled by the overwhelming support and encouragement from fellow Wenatchee citizens who share a common aspiration for a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable city.
My policy vision, rooted in the collective voices and aspirations of our community, centers around the following key areas:
Economic Empowerment
My administration will prioritize economic development that ensures prosperity reaches every neighborhood. By attracting new industries, supporting local businesses, and fostering innovation, we will create a diverse and resilient economy that generates job opportunities for all residents.
Affordable Housing for All
Addressing the affordable housing crisis is a cornerstone of my policy platform. I am committed to collaborating with stakeholders to develop innovative solutions, such as mixed-income housing projects, rent stabilization programs, and initiatives to empower first-time homebuyers.
Education and Youth Investment
A strong and vibrant future relies on investing in our youth. I will advocate for increased funding for our schools, expanded access to quality early childhood education, and robust after-school programs that provide a nurturing environment for our young minds to flourish.
Community Safety and Police Reform
Public safety is a collective responsibility, and I pledge to work closely with law enforcement agencies and community leaders to develop community-oriented policing strategies. Additionally, I am dedicated to implementing necessary reforms that promote transparency and accountability within our police force.
Sustainability and Green Initiatives
As a steward of our environment, I will lead the charge in developing sustainable practices, such as investing in renewable energy, expanding public transportation options, and promoting green spaces to combat climate change and improve our citizens' overall well-being.
Social Equity and Inclusion
Our city's diversity is a source of strength, and I am deeply committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every resident, regardless of their background, can thrive. This commitment will be reflected in policies that prioritize social equity, fair representation, and equal opportunities for all.
Healthcare Access and
Mental Health Support
Accessible healthcare and mental health services are paramount to the well-being of our citizens. My administration will collaborate with healthcare providers and community organizations to ensure that no one is left without the support they need.

Open communication and accountability are the cornerstones of a responsive government. I will prioritize transparency, engaging with the public regularly to address concerns and maintain an open dialogue throughout my tenure as mayor.
Crisis Preparedness and Resilience
Our city must be prepared to face any challenges that come our way. I will work to strengthen our emergency response systems, ensuring that our city is resilient and able to overcome unforeseen crises.
