<p><strong>My approach to public safety balances effective enforcement with proactive community investment.

<p><strong>Protecting and modernizing Trenton Water Works is vital to our city's long-term health and independence. I will advocate for the critical infrastructure investments needed to secure our water system, ensuring clean, safe, and affordable water for every household. We must act now to strengthen this essential public asset and protect it for future generations of Trentonians.</strong></p>

<h2>Lower Trenton Property Taxes</h2>

<p><strong>Every year, Trenton families fall behind on their property taxes. </strong>Seniors on fixed incomes, working households hit by a medical bill or a lost job, people who have spent decades building their lives in this city are not trying to avoid their obligations, they’re struggling to meet them. And right now, New Jersey law offers delinquent homeowners almost no way out.</p>

<p><strong>My plan focuses on attracting sustainable investment and supporting our local entrepreneurs to create high-quality jobs right here in our city. I am committed to driving revitalization that boosts our local economy while protecting housing affordability, ensuring that as Trenton grows, our long-time residents are not left behind.</strong></p>
