Why did you choose to become an alder?

Public service and helping people inspired me to originally seek this position. I'm honored that my neighbors have placed their confidence in me to be their voice in City Hall for many years. I'm proud to have played a role in the development of downtown to where it is today.

What do you hope to accomplish in this role?

I'll continue to champion policies that increase the amount of affordable housing units, expand pedestrian and bike friendly mobility options, and ensure that Madison is a place where everyone can comfortably and affordably live, work, and thrive. Far too many in our community face difficulty securing safe and affordable housing.
