When asked what she would do in the first 100 days after being taking office she said, “With a record of service to our community and experience that understands both public-sector and private-sector, I will hit the ground running to protect our city’s quality of life, while supporting our small and local businesses. I will support our culture and arts and fight for balanced and thoughtful development that meets our city code and does not continue to erode our neighborhoods. I will work with my colleagues to ensure our police and fire have the tools they need to keep our community safe and protect and maintain an economic climate that helps us thrive and keeps our city on the right track.”
