  • Affordable Housing

    Supports

    Tackle the housing crisis with common-sense rent regulation to protect tenants from price gouging, targeted incentives to help first-time homebuyers, and cutting state regulatory red tape that slows construction and drives up development costs.

    “I support common-sense rent regulation to protect tenants from unfair price gouging, along with targeted incentives to help first-time homebuyers secure entry-level homes. We also need to cut state-level regulatory red tape that slows down construction and drives up development costs.”

  • Criminal Justice Reform

    Supports

    Treat addiction as a disease, not a crime; invest in recovery and mental-health treatment instead of more prison beds; legalize marijuana and tax it to fill the treasury.

    “Addiction is a disease, not a crime. Putting people in jail just turns them into better criminals. We need real mental-health treatment and help not more prison beds. I'll fight for recovery programs that actually work. I will legalize marijuana and tax it to fill our treasury.”
