“Stable Housing For Everyone Too many of our neighbors face homelessness, housing insecurity, or very high cost burdens. No one should be paying half their income in rent.” (Campaign website (willguzzardi.com))
“True Public Safety Our current mechanisms of public safety aren’t working. Too many people feel unsafe in our neighborhoods.” (Campaign website (willguzzardi.com))
Ending Corporate Greed: “The concentration of wealth, power, and political and social influence in a small handful of multinational corporations is a dangerous feature of our society. They wield that power to avoid regulation, take advantage of consumers to maximize profit, and create a race to the bottom for workers rights and corporate accountability.” (Campaign website (willguzzardi.com))
