Building a Stronger Auburn Together – A Mayor Who Listens, Leads, and Delivers.
As someone deeply committed to the well-being of our community, I am excited to share my vision for our city’s future as I run for Mayor. For the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of serving as your council member, working alongside many of you to address our city’s needs. Now, I’m ready to take the next step and ask for your support in making this vision a reality.
As Mayor, I will prioritize:
01
Community Engagement
My lifelong commitment to service, from early learning to city leadership, has taught me that true prosperity comes when we listen to each other and act together. as Auburn Mayor, I promise to host regular town halls, conduct thoughtful surveys, and build robust partnerships with schools, businesses, and community groups—because when government stays open and accountable, it empowers all of us. It’s not about me—it’s about all of us, working together to realize Auburn’s full potential. LEARN MORE

Public Safety
I’ve listened closely to your concerns—from gun violence and homelessness to theft and gang activity—and as Auburn Mayor I’m ready to deliver real solutions. My plan centers on transparency and trust-building, with stronger community engagement, open‑house events with our officers, and timely updates when new officers join the force. We’ve already made progress with block‑watch programs, enhanced surveillance, and park‑smoking bans to protect our youth. Now, I’m ready to take the next step: proactive community policing, bolstering social and mental‑health services, and expanding positive youth outreach in schools and sports. With your voice and partnership, we can ensure every family in Auburn feels secure, supported, and empowered. LEARN MORE

Economic Revitalization
I’m committed to building an economy that uplifts every corner of Auburn—not just downtown, but across every neighborhood and business district. That means supporting small businesses, expanding workforce development, and attracting industries that provide good-paying, local jobs. I’ll work to secure redevelopment grants, modernize infrastructure, and create smart incentives that help both new and established businesses thrive. From West Hill to Lea Hill and everywhere in between, my focus is on inclusive economic growth that reflects the diversity and resilience of our community. Together, we’ll build a stronger, more vibrant Auburn—one opportunity at a time. LEARN MORE

Youth Leadership
I believe Auburn’s youth deserve every opportunity to lead, grow, and thrive right here at home. That’s why I’m committed to expanding leadership and mentorship programs that connect students with positive role models and real-world experiences. From youth leadership camps and workshops to partnerships with schools, community groups, and local businesses, we’ll build strong pathways for civic engagement and personal development. I want every young person in Auburn to feel seen, supported, and empowered to step into their potential—not just as future leaders, but as leaders today. When we invest in our youth, we invest in Auburn’s future. LEARN MORE
