The future of Seaside depends on the choices we make now and the values that guide those choices. I believe local government must stay focused on what matters most in people’s daily lives: safe neighborhoods, affordable housing, economic opportunity, strong support for families, and a real path forward for the next generation. My approach is grounded in practical leadership, accountability, and a clear commitment to improving quality of life across every part of our city. That means creating the conditions for local jobs and responsible economic growth, while also making sure long-time residents are not priced out of the community they love. It means working to prevent homelessness before families and individuals fall into crisis, and responding with compassion, coordination, and seriousness when they do. It also means investing in early childhood, youth, and young adults so that every stage of life is supported by opportunity, stability, and hope. These issues are connected, and I will continue fighting for a safer, stronger, and more inclusive Seaside that keeps Moving Forward.

 

 

Economic Development:

I believe Seaside’s economy should grow in a way that creates local jobs, supports small businesses, strengthens city services, and protects the quality of life our residents value. That means responsible investment, smart development, stronger commercial corridors, and a City Hall that works more effectively for businesses, workers, and the community.

Housing Affordability:

I believe the people who work in Seaside, raise families here, and build their future here should have a fair chance to live here. That means creating more housing choices, strengthening renter stability, expanding homeownership opportunities, and making sure growth delivers real affordability for Seaside residents.

Preventing Homelessness and Supporting Those at Risk:

I believe Seaside must do more to prevent homelessness before individuals and families fall into crisis. That means helping people stay housed, expanding access to mental health and supportive services, and working with trusted partners to provide practical, coordinated help at the right time.

Early Childhood, Youth, And Young Adults Investments:

I believe one of the best investments we can make in Seaside is an investment in our children, teens, and young adults. That means expanding early childhood programs, strengthening youth enrichment and STEM opportunities, and building stronger pathways to college, careers, and purpose.

Community Safety and Violence Prevention:

I believe Seaside must take a serious and balanced approach to public safety by supporting first responders, preventing violence early, expanding behavioral health response, and building trust with residents.

Streets, Sidewalks And Infrastructure:

I believe residents should see progress in the condition of our streets, sidewalks, parks, and public facilities. I will continue fighting for safer roads, better pedestrian access, and the infrastructure investments Seaside needs to stay connected, well maintained, and ready for the future.
