With nearly half our residents foreign-born, we also need leaders who treat every family with dignity.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (October 16, 2026))
“Small businesses are the backbone of District 149. I'll push for infrastructure investment along our Main Street corridors, cut red tape for local entrepreneurs and support workforce training so businesses can hire locally.” (Community Impact Candidate Q&A (October 16, 2026))
