Why I’m Running for Medford City Council

Medford is my home. I live here, raise my family here, and run my business here. I’ve had the privilege of meeting many incredible people throughout our city—longtime residents who have shaped Medford into what it is today, and newcomers who bring fresh energy and ideas.

We often talk about “old Medford” and “new Medford,” but it’s time to move past that mindset. We are One Medford, and I’m committed to bringing us together as one united community with solutions, not sides.

I’m running for City Council because I believe Medford has the potential to grow stronger, more connected, and more inclusive. I’m a listener, a connector, and a collaborator. In my roles on the Medford Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors and Communications Committee, I’ve worked alongside local business owners, city leaders, and residents to support thoughtful growth while preserving what makes Medford special.

As a small business owner, I understand how a thriving local economy benefits everyone. Responsible development means balancing growth with infrastructure improvements—roads, transportation, public spaces—so that Medford can thrive sustainably without losing its heart. By attracting new businesses and encouraging smart development, we can create jobs, expand our tax base, and generate more funding for schools, public safety, and city services.

As the mother of a student in Medford Public Schools, I’m deeply invested in the success of our schools and our educators. We need to increase support and resources for teachers—because strong schools build strong communities.

I also believe in strong support for our Medford Fire and Police departments. These public servants keep our city safe every day, and they deserve the tools and resources they need to continue serving effectively.

Above all, I believe in transparency, open communication, and leadership that listens. Medford deserves leaders who keep residents informed, engaged, and involved in the decisions that shape our future

I’m ready to bring my love for this city, my experience, and my collaborative spirit to the City Council. Together, we can build a stronger, more united Medford—one where everyone feels seen, valued, and heard.
