I’m a lifelong resident of Fort Worth and graduate of Everman High School. I remain active in local community advocacy work in and around the Southside and Downtown areas. I teach yoga and group fitness, work in the service industry, and I am well-informed on issues faced by hourly workers and by those who rely on tipped wages to make ends meet. There are many service industry workers in district nine who continue to serve the public during the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing economic crises made worse by both the pandemic and irresponsible governing.
- $15 Minimum Wage for Workers Employed at Companies with 100+ Employees
- Public and Permanent Affordable Housing
- Robust Public Transportation
My policy initiatives center on economic justice, affordable housing, public transportation, and equitable access to public services such as mental healthcare and reproductive healthcare. If elected, I will propose a number of ordinances and city-wide projects focused on (1) raising the city’s minimum wage, (2) developing a fully-funded public and permanent housing initiative to eliminate houselessness, and (3) investing in a robust 21st century public transportation system.
