MY PRIORITIES

Our community’s parks are a pillar of our community’s health.
They are a way for us to promote not just physical health, but mental and emotional health as well. As your parks commissioner, I will use my years of experience as a public health professional to encourage physical activity and support mental well-being, and ensure our parks enhance the quality of life for all of our neighbors.
Our common spaces strengthen our common bonds.
As your commissioner, I will be committed to ensuring our city’s parks reflect our city’s diversity, and ensure that its programming meet the needs of all of our neighbors. From introducing new activities and new celebrations, to making sure that our programs are affordable for all of our residents, I am dedicated to making sure that every member of our community has a place within our parks.
Our parks are an investment in our communities.
They foster public health, strengthen our bonds, and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. That’s why I am committed to maintaining the financial health of our parks system, and if elected, I will work with my fellow commissioners to ensure we make responsible investments in our communities common spaces.
Together, we can preserve, protect, and expand our parks!
