At the heart of my campaign is a commitment to making Chapel Hill a place that truly works for people today and into the future. This means building a resilient, inclusive, and responsive community by focusing on three key priorities:

Preparing for a Changing Climate

Our climate is shifting, bringing hotter summers and more frequent, unpredictable weather events. These changes will impact how we live, work, and interact with our environment. Chapel Hill must be proactive, not reactive, in preparing for a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.

Expanding Housing Opportunities

We are facing a nationwide housing crisis, one made more urgent by economic uncertainty. Chapel Hill’s strength lies in its diverse and vibrant population. To preserve and grow that strength, we must expand access to housing options that meet the needs of residents across the economic spectrum—from young professionals to working families to seniors.

Promoting Transparent and Equitable Community Engagement

Chapel Hill is a town of thinkers, problem-solvers, and engaged citizens. Yet for too many, local government feels inaccessible or opaque. We need to open the doors wider, making participation in town decision-making easier, more transparent, and more inclusive. Solving complex issues like climate adaptation and housing affordability requires tapping into the full breadth of our community’s knowledge, experiences, and voices.
