Davis in 250 Words (Part 1)

9/12/2020

The Davis Vanguard published their first question and the answers of all City Council candidates. Each Friday we have a chance to see, in 250 words, how all nine candidates line up. Here's my week one answer.

What is your vision for Davis if elected to the council?

​My vision for Davis builds on the work we have already done. Our community is passionate about
  1. increasing inclusion, diversity, and equity,
  2. rethinking public safety,
  3. keeping downtown a destination,
  4. fighting to limit climate change,
  5. creating communication, transparency, and accountability in local government,
  6. and planning how to get to the future we want and need.
This looks like denser housing and sustainable infill development, so all people who work, play, and want to be here can live here. Creating a healthy housing market is an important step toward the diverse and welcoming town Davis wants to be. This vision includes an increase in the types of response to 911 calls, so police officers can handle crime, and public safety can put a focus on people and prevention. This vision means less cars, more bikes, and includes improvements to infrastructure that build on our strengths. Picture downtown with more space allocated to businesses, pedestrians, and bikers. Now we are surrounded by smoke, and it is clear that every one of us needs to do more when it comes to climate change. Davis is poised to be an example of a net zero emission economy. We all have blind spots and different perspectives. Local government should be a place where all voices are heard, and decisions are made and explained with this knowledge in hand. My vision for Davis relies on community-based planning to create concrete steps to reach lofty goals because that’s what Davis deserves.
