Issues

We need the kinds of housing that create space for new neighbors to move into, for our children to grow into, and for our seniors to retire into. Let's create housing abundance.

Business dollars decrease our reliance on property taxes. We need more small and local businesses in Oak Park.

Our core values are under attack by the new administration. I will protect our most vulnerable communities and defend our shared progressive values.

We need to build a new police facility and support the Police Chief's efforts to fully staff the department. It's important that we fully fund and support our new 'Alternative Response' system, dispatching non-sworn officers to non-emergency and low risk calls.

More than just solar panels and heat pumps, we need walkable, human scale density, to enable efficiency, support our local businesses, and decrease car dependency.

More than just bike lanes and traffic calming, Vision Zero is a commitment to continuously decrease all traffic related injuries and deaths, protecting pedestrians, bikers, and drivers.

Replacing our aging Village facilities is a pressing need, but we need to make sure that what we build is appropriate and affordable. This will require creative solutions, but I am confident that we can build the facilities our staff and police deserve without breaking the bank.

Good data produces good policy. The board should be driving top-to-bottom improvements with staff to make better use of technology.

Invest in infrastructure and people. Properly fund infrastructure projects, and hire the right staff and pay them well.
