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.
