It is no secret that Burlington is unaffordable for the majority of its residents. As the councilor representing Burlington’s most renter-heavy ward, I have fought to create abundant housing for all and protect tenants’ rights. Burlington has its problems, but a better world is still possible. It starts with a focus on People & Planet Over Profit.

In my second term, I will continue to fight to make Burlington a city you can afford. Together, we will:

Housing for All

• Reform zoning laws to allow for the construction of abundant housing
• Ensure that UVM dorms are properly inspected, safe, and up to code
• Pass a charter change amendment to stabilize rent in Burlington, so that landlords cannot raise rent above a legally mandated limit
• Inrease funding to the Champlain Housing Trust for the construction of new social housing
• Rezone the Burlington Country Club Golf Course to build new housing

Protect and Expand Public Services

• Fight the privatization of municipal recycling
• Consolidate all waste collection under public ownership
• Invest in Burlington’s public transportation system so that residents can commute without a car

Protect our Neighbors from the Trump Admdinistration

• Enforce our status as a sanctuary city
• Defend free speech in our community
• Make Burlington a sanctuary city for the LGBT community
• Tax the wealthy to prevent city services from being defunded by the federal government.
