Why are you seeking elective office?

Time to resolve the top three challenges of the day and based on my life experience, we can do it.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

Life experiences, challenges and ability to resolve an issue.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

This is an open seat but the failed policies, lack of accountability and oversight have failed our community, the homeless and mentally ill.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

Homelessness and Mental Illness. Housing first has failed, with billions of vital resources squandered on failed projects.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

Successful business owner. Successful in challenging a billion-dollar company and winning.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

Believe in yourself and do not care about what others think of you.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?

My positions and solutions are based in part as being the daughter of a police officer, my mother was homeless and trafficked and my sister had mental illness. I have had to make hard decisions and take action to see these challenges to the best possible end result.
