 Why I’m Running

I love Madison. I care deeply about this city and the people who make it such a vibrant place to live. But I also know that Madison has room to grow and improve. I have seen how economic and racial inequities shape our community, creating barriers that hold people back from the opportunities they deserve. I’ve lived in Madison my whole life and have witnessed these challenges firsthand as a student in MMSD, and a young adult since. As a former renter and new homeowner I’ve watched rent climb higher and higher, and homeownership become an increasingly unattainable dream for the next generation of Madisonians.

I think back to my amazing neighborhood growing up, where every other house was a young family, and all of us kids in the neighborhood got to grow up together. Today, it’s hard to imagine how young families can afford to live in the city today. Madison is growing, but as our city grows, I want to ensure that rising costs don’t push out longtime residents and that new housing options are accessible and affordable for the next generation. 

I am running for District 12 Alder because I see the challenges that my neighbors face, and I know we can do more to address them.
