PRIORITIES

“Growing up I was always encouraged by my family and teachers to think globally and act locally. It stuck with me, and now I read and try to learn about the world everyday, while finding ways to contribute to the community.”
PRIORITY AREAS
Environment

 

As residents of a coastal community, we value our ocean, lagoons, and clean air, and we want to preserve our natural resources.

​

I will speak up for:

  • reasonable planning and zoning, and thoughtfulness regarding environmental impacts

  • care for our environment, protected areas, trails, and open spaces

  • meeting renewable energy and zero waste goals

  • a strengthened Climate Action Plan with enforceable measures to achieve meaningful GHG-reduction targets​

​

Small Business

 

Our diverse economy in Carlsbad is home to many small businesses that provide key services and employ local residents.

​

I will encourage:

  • open, regular communication with small local businesses and a problem-solving mindset

  • flexible, forward-thinking, and nimble governance that will assist local Carlsbad businesses to adapt and be resilient during challenging times

  • streamlined online permit and license processes, putting technology to use to expedite common requests

  • shopping locally and promoting our "mom and pop shops"

​

​

Infrastructure
​

A key responsibility of our city leaders is proactive management of our infrastructure, including our streets and roads.

​

I will champion:

  • innovative solutions to traffic congestion and speeding

  • improved street conditions

  • continuous sidewalks and bike paths

  • smart growth strategies and long-term community planning

  • collaboration with neighboring cities and regional and state entities

Public Safety
​

Carlsbad relies on outstanding first responder teams and our deep community ties to keep all of us safe and support us in times of need.

​

I will speak up for:

  • increased dialogue, transparency, and accountability with all of Carlsbad’s public safety employees and first responders

  • restructuring of law enforcement response to homelessness, mental health, and code enforcement

  • prevention, community policing, and relationship building

  • citizen engagement through strengthened training programs, neighborhood watch groups, and digital tools for information sharing
