On The Issues

As a local social worker and community organizer there are a lot of gaps - and opportunities - I see on a daily basis! Take a look at a few specific issues I hope to address on Erie County Council. But if you see something missing, let us know!

We want to bring ALL perspectives to the table.

Broadband Accessibility

I am committed to making sure every household in Erie County - especially more rural homes - have equal access to internet & fiber optic broadband connection.
Broadband accessibility helps:

  • Local farmers

  • Small businesses & entrepreneurs 

  • Students & lifelong learners

  • And more!

Improving Public Transportation

I am committed to improving funding & accessibility of public transportation across Erie County - because I've seen firsthand the additional barriers a lack of transportation can create for working families.

Public Bus

Trauma-informed Policy

I am committed to promoting preventative efforts to address public safety, criminal justice, mental health, public health, and trauma treatment. 

When we prevent problems from happening, we help our community heal & thrive - and we save taxpayers money!

New Growth

Equity & Inclusion

Whether we're talking about religion, race, gender identity, ability/disability, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status - EVERYONE deserves a fair shot at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That includes equal access to family-sustaining jobs, access to resources and services, access to community and connection, and access to justice and fair treatment in all spaces. This is not a topic that exists in its own silo - this is a concept that is imbedded in every area of the work I do. Reach out if you have questions on how this applies to the issues you care about!

Volunteers Lifting Construction Frame

Environmental Protection & Development

Supporting responsible, environmental development and protection is critical at this point in our global struggle against climate change.

​

Moving away from the "same old" model of development and reliance on fossil fuels in incredibly important. 

​

Protecting our natural green spaces in Erie County is even more important - not only for the environment but for our region's history, identity, and culture.
