I spent the majority of my childhood growing up on the streets of South Tacoma. My great-grandmother's house was our home base, in the heart of the 5th City Council District. My siblings and I attended Edison Elementary, as the second generation to do so; my mother and her siblings were the first, and my oldest daughter was the third, attending Head Start at Edison. My great-grandparents moved to Tacoma when my grandmother was young, she graduated from Mount Tahoma. I am proud to be from South Tacoma. I decided it was time to run for office because of the changes that I have noticed these past couple of years. The influx of new people has created an atmosphere that is making it hard for our people to live, let alone thrive. I want to help retain the culture of our city, especially here in South Tacoma, and bring the focus back to the people. The people who have worked hard for the life they made here, deserve to thrive here. They do not need to be driven out by high priced housing and low wage jobs. We can do better than that.

Sunrise No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge
Taking this pledge is important in Tacoma. Where we have large fossil fuel corporations that operate on our port. Where Puget Sound Energy is building an LNG facility that will hold enough liquid FRACKED gas to fill the Tacoma Dome. Once that facility is full, it will become a ticking time bomb. LNG facilities are not supposed to be built within a three mile radius of anything you don't want to disintegrate into dust if the facility blows. Tacoma port and city council think building it where three of our hospitals are within the blast zone and multiple schools are within the blast zone is perfectly safe.
Are you in the blast zone? Would you like to know more about the LNG facility and why you should be worried about it all? Check out this site.
The politicians in our area were ready and willing to put our lives at risk for the sake of their own careers. I do not agree with that. I will not pocket money from fossil fuel companies in this area just for them to one day come and ask me to pay up on their favor. I am beholden to the people of Tacoma and what is in their best interests. Not the interests of the fossil fuel industry. We can do better. We MUST do better, now.
