A dedicated community member with deep roots in Tacoma's Eastside, running to represent District 4 on the Tacoma City Council. Committed to bringing fresh perspectives and strong leadership to help shape Tacoma's future.
Raising a family on the Eastside, where I grew up, I want my children, their children—all our children—to breathe clean air. That's why, I promise you this: I won't take a penny from fossil fuel executives, lobbyists, or their PACs. Not today, not ever.

It attempts to solve discrimination by returning to a system that excluded qualified candidates from marginalized communities.
