“As someone who loves Tacoma dearly, I work every day to take steps towards actualizing a city where we all feel we can thrive. Whether it is in my work as a creative entrepreneur, a community organizer, or as an advocate, I value collaboration, equity, justice, and action. The work we have to do is both difficult and possible, and will require bold action to find solutions that are creative and considerate, moving us closer to the safe, healthy, and affordable city we all know Tacoma can be.”
