Community-Centered Development

Problem: Development decisions are often made too late in the process for residents to shape the outcome.

Solution: Involve communities earlier and prioritize projects that add housing, small business space, jobs, public amenities, and long-term neighborhood value.

Policy Position: I support development that is planned with residents, expands opportunity, and strengthens neighborhoods without accelerating displacement.

Housing That Works for Real People

Problem: Denver’s housing market is not working for too many renters, families, seniors, workers, and first-time buyers.

Solution: Increase housing supply, protect rental stability, expand paths to homeownership, and align housing policy with transportation, infrastructure, and public investment.

Policy Position: I support practical housing policies that help people stay in Denver, reduce displacement, and create more options across income levels.


Problem: Too much of Denver’s public safety system responds after people are already in crisis.

Solution: Invest earlier in housing stability, mental health care, addiction recovery, youth support, and neighborhood services that reduce emergency calls and prevent harm.

Policy Position: I support a public safety strategy that pairs effective emergency response with prevention, data tracking, and accountability for outcomes.

Public Health and Safety Through Stability

Responsible Industrial and Infrastructure Policy

Problem: Large industrial and infrastructure projects can create long-term impacts on neighborhoods, water use, energy demand, traffic, air quality, and public health.

Solution: Require stronger review of major projects before approval, including environmental impact, infrastructure strain, public health, and neighborhood compatibility.

Policy Position: I support holding large projects to clear standards, requiring them to pay their full public cost, and prioritizing uses that provide real community benefit.

Transparent and Accountable Local Government

Problem: Residents often do not know how decisions are made, how money is spent, or how to meaningfully participate before decisions are finalized.

Solution: Make city processes easier to understand, improve public communication, and require clearer reporting on spending, goals, and results.

Policy Position: I support transparent budgeting, accessible public meetings, plain-language communication, and regular outcome reporting for city programs.
