The Platform

Housing is the foundation. Here's the plan.

Practical solutions rooted in 15 years of on-the-ground experience.

🏠

Defend Rent Stabilization

Protect and strengthen Montgomery County's landmark rent stabilization law against rollback attempts. Every renter deserves predictable, fair housing costs.

⚖️

Just Cause Eviction

No renter should lose their home without legitimate cause. Strengthen eviction protections so families have the stability they need to thrive.

📈

Pro-Business Balance

Good housing policy creates stable communities where businesses flourish. Support responsible development alongside strong tenant protections.

🏗️

Affordable Supply

Increase the stock of genuinely affordable housing through smart zoning reform, developer incentives, and public investment in community land trusts.

🤝

Tenant Organizing

Empower tenant associations and protect renters' right to organize. Collective voice is the strongest tool against housing exploitation.

🌳

Livable Communities

From transit access to green space, build neighborhoods where everyone—renters and homeowners alike—can put down roots.

This campaign runs on community.

No corporate PAC money. No developer dollars. Just neighbors supporting neighbors.
