Issues

Issue: Ventura faces a growing housing crisis, with rising rents making it difficult for many residents to afford to live in the city. This is particularly challenging for low- and middle-income families, who are being priced out of their homes.

Position: I am committed to implementing rent control policies to protect renters from exorbitant rent increases and ensure housing stability. By working with community stakeholders, I will advocate for balanced solutions that provide affordable housing options while maintaining the city's economic vitality.

Issue: Ventura’s economy needs to grow in a way that benefits all residents, but there are challenges in balancing development with preserving the character of our community.

Position: I support thoughtful economic development that creates jobs, promotes local businesses, and enhances our quality of life without compromising what makes Ventura unique. I will advocate for projects that bring economic growth while ensuring they align with the community's values and environmental goals.
