There is no more pressing need than housing that Lacey residents can afford. We have a housing shortage for all income levels, which contributes to people being priced out of the housing market.

As Lacey's representative to the Regional Housing Council, I will continue working on strategies for reducing housing costs and solutions to reducing homelessness. For any solution to work, we need more mental health and addiction treatment services. I am working with state representatives to bring more recovery dollars to Thurston County.
