Quality Education

An investment in education is an investment in Waltham’s future. I will fight to keep our schools well funded. Our kids deserve a safe learning environment with a curriculum that includes STEM, civics, the arts, dual language, and vocational technical education.

Safe Neighborhoods

I will reinforce trust and cooperation between residents and police, and uphold our identity as a city that welcomes immigrants. We need strong enforcement of reckless driving, because every parent deserves to feel safe when their kids play outside.

Responsible and Transparent Government

You deserve an accessible and responsive city government, with proactive communication about infrastructure projects and public meetings. We need a 311 system to track constituent needs, and address snow removal, potholes, and the rat infestation.

City Planning and Economic Growth

Waltham needs a master plan that addresses new development and aging infrastructure, and that prioritizes quality of life without sacrificing our tax base. We need to invest in local and small businesses, especially on Moody and Main Streets.

Transit and the Environment

I am committed to expanding green space in every neighborhood, especially on the South Side. We need higher transit frequencies downtown, expanded bus service in North Waltham, and street design that allows safe travel for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.

Housing and Seniors

We need fewer million-dollar teardowns. Instead, I will prioritize starter homes and turn state funds into affordable housing and housing assistance. We need to help seniors afford to stay in their homes by lowering their taxes and utility bills.
