1. I am running because working families in Columbia Falls need a stronger voice in local government. Too often decisions are made with the interests of developers and outside money in mind, while ordinary residents are left struggling with higher costs and less control over their own community. I want to make sure the council puts the people of Columbia Falls first, and that city government is accountable to those who live and work here.
2. The biggest issue we face is the rising cost of living, especially housing. Too many people who work here can no longer afford to live here. My priority will be to make housing more affordable and accessible for local families and workers. I will also work to make city decisions more transparent and open, so residents know what is being planned and have a real say in how Columbia Falls grows.
3. I believe safer streets are important, but the process needs to be handled differently. Projects like this should be built on the input of the people who actually live and drive here. I would push for more open meetings where residents can speak before plans are finalized, and I would make sure community feedback is taken seriously instead of treated as an afterthought. Safety and accessibility should go hand in hand, and the city should listen to the people at every step.
4. Housing should be for the people who live and work here, not just for investors or second-home buyers. I support partnerships with nonprofit builders like Habitat for Humanity because they put local families first. I also support looking at community land trusts or similar approaches that can keep housing affordable over the long term. The city should prioritize developments that serve workers, teachers, and families instead of allowing the market to push people out. If elected, I will make sure the council uses the housing study to push for policies that protect residents and not just developers.
5. My campaign is about giving power back to the people of Columbia Falls. If I am elected, I will work to make the city more affordable, more transparent, and more responsive to the needs of its residents. Columbia Falls should be a place where working people can build their lives, raise their families, and have a real voice in the direction of their community.
