A passionate supporter for the best in our community…

Supporting and expanding Olympia’s Park system
I will support waterfront and inland walkways and trails, Ballfields, Watershed Park, The Grass Lake Reserve, the Deschutes Parkway, Squaxin/Priest Point Park, LBA Park and many other neighborhood parks that provide recreation for Olympias families. I will support expanding and diversifying our park system.

Upgrade and expand Mental Health, Shelters for the Homelessness and Addiction services
To end homeless camps, Olympia must join with other communities for a regional approach to providing ample shelter for hundreds of unhoused people living in Homeless Camps who are afflicted with addictions or mental health problems. Current programs that treat afflicted populations with wrap around services are inadequate. This is a priority.

Build More Housing
Olympia has an acute housing shortage and rents are skyrocketing. The city must expand our partnerships with public and non-profit agencies to build more public housing. We must remove barriers that discourage private builders from starting new projects and thoughtfully provide incentives to build affordable housing.
