Medford City Council · Ward 4
Over the past four years, I've worked to make Medford safer, more affordable, and better positioned for the future. There's more work to do, and I'm asking for your vote to keep building on the progress we've made together.
Proven Results
When you elected me in 2022, I promised to tackle homelessness, fight for livability, and rejuvenate downtown. Here's what we've accomplished.
Looking Ahead
Medford has made real progress, but the work isn't done. Here's where I'll focus in my next term.
Homelessness remains one of Medford's most visible challenges, but the landscape has shifted since 2022. The Supreme Court's Grants Pass v. Johnson decision gave cities more tools to manage public camping, and we've used them. The question now is how we build on that foundation.
My approach has always been the same: pair enforcement with services. The Livability Team continues to be a model program, and we need to keep investing in the combination of law enforcement, mental health support, and housing pathways that actually moves people off the streets.
In 2022, I ran on making Medford more affordable. Housing costs remain a challenge, but we've made progress by cutting red tape, expanding programs that encourage building, and working directly with developers to get homes built.
The core problem hasn't changed: we need more housing supply. The best way to bring costs down is to make it easier and faster to build. That means streamlined permitting, smart land-use planning, and city government that works with builders instead of against them.
