PRIORITIES

The most important part of my job of a city councilor is cutting through red tape to resolve everything from potholes to permiting.

Defending democracy starts at home. I’ll defend free speech, due process, and ensure Somerville remains a transparent, welcoming, pro-democracy city.

Building a vibrant local economy where small businesses thrive, commercial spaces come alive, and economic growth benefits all.

I’ll help Ward 5 entrepreneurs turn ideas into action—with microgrants, mentorship, and real support for new small businesses and first-time founders.

I will deliver safer streets, reliable transit, and smarter design so that everyone — walkers, bikers, drivers, and riders — can get where they need to go safely.

Housing is a human right. I’m a proud YIMBY who believes we must build more housing while protecting current residents.

I will listen to everyone, regardless of party or ideology — but I will never compromise on values of equality, inclusion, and basic human dignity.

Every resident deserves to understand, participate, and be heard — no matter what language they speak.

Expanding access to mental health and addiction care through neighborhood-based services, crisis response teams, and stronger ties to state support.

Tackling our rodent problem with smarter prevention, faster response, and stronger enforcement.

Somerville’s schools are falling behind, and I’ll work with the entire community to replace Winter Hill and modernize every school building — safely and sustainably.

Seniors deserve to stay active, independent, and connected—with access to support, transit, and community.

Cultivating a greener, healthier Ward 5 by protecting trees, streamlining plantings, empowering stewards, and embedding green space into every project.
