League of Women Voters' Questionnaire 2025

Question 1: What three issues are most important to your constituents, and how would you address and/or resolve them?

With a longtime commitment to supporting civil society and progressive policy in Brookline, I want to continue promoting housing access/affordability, reduction of fossil fuel use, and thoughtful economic development policy that will help address the town’s structural deficit. These issues are paramount in Precinct 3, particularly where teardowns have been replaced by even more expensive housing with excessive massing and poor design. I support form-based zoning in our precinct to discourage big-box condos and would encourage development of smaller multifamily units to create more affordable housing options.
