Priorities for District 17 | Housing, Safety, Justice & Social Mobility

Housing Affordability

As Alder I will work to collaborate effectively with local housing partners to ensure current and future community members are able to afford to rent and/or buy a home in Madison.

Homelessness
Prioritize providing humane + safe shelter with access to resources for our neighbors who are presently unhoused and those facing housing insecurity.
Low-income housing
Expand the affordable housing trust fund.
Affordability
Prioritize new development projects with affordability components that cater to all residents.

Safety & Justice

I fully support investing in violence prevention initiatives that have been proven to work as well as Madison’s Vision Zero Initiative to so that each of us feels much safer going wherever we may need to go.

Community trust & accountability
Pedestrian safety
Address East Washington safety concerns so every resident can cross safely.
