Priorities
Community Prosperity
I will work hard to attract and retain business, support local entrepreneurs, and invest in workforce development. By fostering a strong, diverse economy, we can create jobs, support local businesses, and improve the quality of life for all residents, ensuring that Ramsey County is the county of choice!
Environmental Sustainability
As an anishinaabe-ikwe, I believe in planning seven generations ahead and protecting our environment is not just a moral obligation but an urgent necessity. I will advocate for bold, forward-thinking policies aligned with Ramsey County’s Climate Equity Action Plan that address climate change, transportation, and protecting our natural resources. We need to leave a healthier planet for our future generations.
Diversity and Inclusion
Equity to ensure that we are addressing the systemic disparities that have long affected our marginalized communities. I will work tirelessly to improve access to quality healthcare, affordable housing, and social service programs. We must create policies that break down barriers and provide everyone with a fair chance to succeed. Our diversity is one of our strengths!
Housing and Community Development
Increasing affordable housing options, preventing homelessness, supporting programs that help residents stay in their homes, and supporting development projects that benefit the community.
Education and Youth Services
Supporting families, educational programs, and initiatives that benefit children and youth; advocating for resources to address educational disparities and improve outcomes for all students.
Health and Wellness
I know first hand how county services can help to improve resident’s lives. One of my top priorities is to ensure access to healthcare services, mental health resources, and social services are easy and responsive. I will advocate for programs and services that promote healthy lifestyles and address health disparities in underserved communities.
