Lately, too much attention in Aurora politics has shifted to national debates—especially around immigration—while pressing local issues are sidelined. I’m focused on what directly impacts our daily lives: public safety, housing affordability, economic development, traffic congestion, and maintaining the infrastructure our community depends on.

I’ve seen firsthand how government an inflexible government can hold communities back—from departments buried in unrelated agencies to budgeting and red tape that delays critical planning and development. I’m committed to streamlining our local government so it works faster, smarter, and more transparently for the people it serves.

Formalize our Vision
Aurora lacks a unified vision for its future at the ward level. With my background in master planning, I’ll lead the creation of ward-level plans that connect to a larger citywide strategy—ensuring every neighborhood has a voice and every investment moves us toward clear and tangible goals.
Make Aurora Safer

Formalize our Vision
I believe real public safety starts with strong foundations—quality education, after-school programs, and job opportunities.
At the same time, we must build on the lessons learned from the social justice movement to restore value in policing. My goal is to work with community members to re-establish a sense of honor for one of the most critical components in public safety. I believe that continuous training, retainment efforts, and collaboration will help build a robust police force that truly serves the community and keeps Aurora Safe.

The 2025 City Budget only appropriated 2% to Housing and Community Services despite the growing concern of homelessness and the significant gap between affordable housing supply and demand. I am committed to adopting approved plans to reduce cost and review times, restructure the budget to account for development fee waivers to encourage development, increasing the flexibility on zoning code constraints, and speeding up the planning review process and develop a Housing Trust Fund.

Despite the city’s known socioeconomic issues, the city is doing little to understand the changing dynamics that are affecting its residents. I am committed to establishing a taskforce aimed at understanding the root causes of poverty, underemployment, general and mental health disparities, and educational programs for adults.
