Get StartedI will stand alongside any resident of Indiana being attacked and persecuted for their identity. The government should exist to protect less-powerful groups and ensure their equal ability to participate in our economic and civic life. Our current government is doing the exact opposite, and like many Hoosiers I am sick of it. Learn more
I am an advocate of clinician-led emergency response teams, and see Indianapolis’s current pilot program as a small step in the right direction. We should provide emergency responses to all of our residents’ needs, including those related to mental health, with respondents trained to help with specific needs, rather than armed law enforcement.

I would immediately act to close the loophole that allows companies to collect tax dollars and then employ contractors at poverty wages. I would work to ensure that in Indianapolis, loyal workers cannot be simply thrown to the curb in poor financial weather. Learn more
All children deserve a quality education - and this means adequate pay and treatment for teachers, speech pathologists, nurses, psychologists, and all other support staff that children need to be fully present and prepared to learn. A strong, well-funded, well-staffed public education system is vital for our city’s future. Learn more
I will push to heavily fund lead remediation, hold corporations accountable for poisoning our soil, air, and water, and prioritize health and safety over corporate profits. Learn more
I will publicize the activities of boards and demand accountability from appointees. In addition, as a city councillor, I will make the sources of any income or gifts public and will call for more transparency around potential conflicts of interest. Learn more
Like the vast majority of Americans, I support a single universal health care system. Learn more
As your next Councillor, I will put working people first and prioritize the creation of affordable housing on day one. Our current council has a very cozy relationship with developers, but a much worse relationship with renters and burdened homeowners. I believe housing is a human right, and I will continue fighting for a city and country where housing is free for all who need it. Learn more
I support free and expanded public transportation, as well as subsidies for residents to purchase e-bicycles and other green transportation options. I also support the creation of neighborhood co-ops and grocery stores to shrink and eliminate food deserts. Learn more
Every worker who wants a union should have a union. As your next City-County Councillor, I would oppose spending money to create jobs at employers that did not pay livable wages, provide good benefits, and offer neutrality to workers who wished to form a union. Learn more
