Our Path Forward: A County That Works For Everyone

We can build a county government that leads with care, invests in what works, and reaches every neighbor, not just the ones with the most time or money to speak up. Federal cuts are here, and tough budget decisions are coming for the County Board; I am ready to face them and will prioritize the needs of our most vulnerable neighbors.

Everyone Deserves a Safe, Stable Place to Live
I will fight to expand affordable housing, protect tenants, and invest in nonprofit and community-led solutions that prevent displacement and homelessness. The County must take a stronger role in funding, preserving, and building housing that people at all income levels can actually afford.

Protecting Our Climate, Land, and Water
I support smart land use that reduces sprawl, preserves farmland, and keeps growth near jobs and transit. We need to expand conservation efforts, protect our lakes from runoff, and continue to invest in climate resilience through green infrastructure and clean energy.

Transportation That Works for Everyone
Whether you live in downtown Madison or a rural township, you deserve to move safely and affordably. I will push for better rural transit, more paratransit options, and a connected bike and trail system that serves as real infrastructure, allowing everyone to experience our downtown city.

Care-Based Justice, Not More Incarceration
Public safety means investing in care to end the cycle of crisis. I support alternatives to jail, expanding unarmed crisis response, and creating a civilian oversight board for the Dane County Jail to ensure accountability and dignity for people in custody.

Public Health Is Not Optional
I will fight to protect the front-line services that keep people healthy, from reproductive care and lead prevention to overdose response and maternal support. The County must step up as federal support shrinks.

Government That Listens and Delivers
I believe local government should meet people where they are, not just where it’s easiest or convenient. I’ll show up, listen, and make sure renters, workers, and neighbors who are too often left out get a real seat at the table and have their voice heard.
