The platform of creating safer streets comes from the tragic rise in vehicle homicides and racist hate crimes against people and their businesses in this district. I would like to connect with community advocates and other candidates to solve these problems together.

So far the city council has been unable to come to a solution to street racing or car shows so that they can happen safely without Tacoma police running their vehicle through the crowd. This would change by promoting outreach rather than persecution to youth with no outlets.

A community-based crisis response team would be necessary to expand our current CAHOOTS program to reduce the number of calls routed to police.
