Ward 6 is a rapidly growing ward that is lacking in key resources. I have been working hard during my current term on the following issues:

1. Fair, Priority-Based Budgeting– TAX REFORM!

• Implement program effectiveness measures so dollars go where they work, not on continuing pet or legacy projects.
• Cap executive-level city salaries (~$115k), raise starting wages to at least $25/hr (living wages cut spending in other areas we are taxed).
• Put an end to unchecked spending that doesn’t serve Missoula families.

2. Infrastructure Equity

• Prioritize wards with fewer sidewalks, lighting, and traffic calming, such as Ward 6!
• Invest in infrastructure fairly across the city, not just in already well-served areas.

3. Affordable Housing & Stability

• Direct Affordable Housing Trust Fund to 0–30% AMI families.
• Ensure city property is used for permanently affordable housing.
• Expand permanent supportive housing with partners like Missoula Housing Authority.
• Preserve naturally affordable homes (small multifamily, manufactured housing).

4. Transparent, Accountable Government

• Stop political games — focus on doing our jobs.
• Open, honest, accessible leadership: move public comment earlier, share info widely, talk directly with residents.
