Why are you the best candidate for this position? (750 characters)
I've dedicated over 18 years advocating for people navigating systems that weren't designed to be understood. My work has taught me how to show up for people who need someone in their corner, ask hard questions, and achieve positive outcomes. As a queer woman and community member, I know what it means to need a government that sees you. I understand what it means when housing stops working, when infrastructure fails the people who need it most, and when decisions get made without the input of the people those decisions affect. I'll bring that experience to City Council, driven by accountability and transparency.
If elected, what will your top three priorities be and why? (500 characters)
I'll advocate for housing that works for renters, seniors, and first-time buyers, and for development that the whole community can be proud of. I'll push to complete the sidewalk and trail network, invest in parks and the preservation of natural habitat, and advance the Climate Equity Action Plan so Roseville is built for the long term. And I'll stand up for the public safety investments that keep our neighborhoods strong.
How do you plan to engage with and represent all members of our diverse community?(500 characters)
By showing up before decisions are made, not after. That means input sessions with real dialogue, meetings accessible in timing and format, and canvassing every neighborhood so I hear directly from renters, seniors, and newer residents alongside longtime homeowners. I know that representation matters practically, in whose concerns get raised and who feels welcome at city hall. Roseville is diversifying. I'll make sure that our full community has a voice at the table.
What steps will you take to ensure transparency and accountability in city government? (500 characters)
Budget information in plain language so residents understand not just what was spent but why. Proactive communication when financial assumptions change, especially around things like expiring grants. Community input before major decisions, not after. Follow up so residents know whether their input shaped the outcome. Transparency isn't about publishing information. It's about trust.
