Building a Stronger and More Vibrant Community Together

Below you will find brief summaries of my positions on topics that I believe are important to Columbia Heights. I would love to hear from you, please contact me so we can discuss what’s important to you and our city.

Diversity

I want to continue to highlight and support the diversity in our community that makes ALL of our residents feel safe and welcome. Read More.

Parks

Infrastructure & Transit

It is important to maintain a balance. Read More.

Murzyn Hall

Sustainability
