What three issues are most important to your constituents, and how would you address and/or resolve them?
1. Like most PSB parents I have become deeply frustrated by the budget issues eroding the quality of our schools. If elected, I would push for more transparency and oversight in the budgeting process, and seek all means for funding the schools as best we can.
2. It is clear to me Brookline needs more housing across all levels of the market. For that reason I strongly support increasing multifamily and affordable housing and relaxing height and parking requirements, which artificially suppress inventory.
3. Finally, safe and accessible means of transportation are inextricably linked with education and housing policy. I will work towards Brookline's Vision Zero projects to make our roads safer for cars, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
Biographical Data: I was born and raised in Newton and have been a PSB parent and Brookline resident since 2017. Before moving back to the area, I spent four years at the White House as a technology director and policy advisor in the Obama Administration. I have spent much of my career helping elect Democratic candidates and working on progressive social issues, most recently focused on supporting first-time and first-generation home owners, and currently working for a startup tackling fair pay.
