Your help is needed so that my name will be on the 2024 ballot! We’ve accomplished a lot, but of course there’s so much more to do. I hope you’ll stick with me so we can keep up the momentum we’ve achieved on our workforce housing, climate action, transportation infrastructure, and catastrophic wildland prevention work. If you want to see what I’m working on week-to-week, you can always view my schedule on the City’s website! I need 1,131 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot, so after you’ve signed, can you share this link or the graphic below with 5 friends? Many thanks!
