a practical platform for district 6

While immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, DuPage County has a role to play in protecting community trust when ICE activity creates fear or confusion. 

As a County Board Member, I support clear county policies that prevent the use of county resources for civil immigration enforcement, expand “Know Your Rights” education and legal resource connections, and reinforce that local law enforcement’s role is public safety — not civil deportation. 

These steps help ensure families feel safe accessing services, reporting crimes, and participating fully in our community.

DuPage County has a responsibility to manage taxpayer dollars carefully, transparently, and with clear priorities. 

I support disciplined budgeting that keeps property taxes affordable for working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and renters, while ensuring critical county services — like public safety, public health, and infrastructure — remain strong and reliable. 

That means making thoughtful spending decisions, demanding accountability, and focusing tax dollars on the services residents rely on most.

DuPage County plays a critical role in funding, coordinating, and expanding access to mental health and public health services that residents rely on every day. 

I support strengthening partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and healthcare providers to expand prevention, early intervention, and treatment services for mental health and substance use. 

This includes improving language access, reducing transportation barriers, and ensuring residents know how to access county-supported care. 

Treating behavioral and public health as essential infrastructure helps keep families stable, kids learning, and seniors supported.

Housing stability is foundational to family well-being, economic security, and community health. 

DuPage County helps administer housing assistance, homelessness prevention, and support services, and those resources must be used strategically and equitably. 

I will advocate for county programs that help seniors remain in their homes, support working families facing rising costs, and provide stability for residents experiencing housing insecurity. 

A thoughtful, coordinated approach to housing strengthens neighborhoods and reduces long-term strain on emergency and social services.

Reliable infrastructure is essential to safety, economic opportunity, and quality of life in District 6. 

DuPage County is responsible for maintaining roads, bridges, and stormwater systems and for coordinating transportation planning across municipalities. 

I support targeted investments that improve traffic flow, enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety, and reduce flooding risks during heavy rains. 

Planning responsibly for infrastructure today helps protect homes, control long-term costs, and keep our communities moving safely.

County government works best when residents understand how decisions are made and how their tax dollars are used. 

I believe in open budgeting, clear communication, and responsive constituent service that treats residents as partners in the process. 

As a County Board Member, I will prioritize transparency, accountability, and accessibility so community members can easily engage with county government and trust that decisions are being made in the public interest. 

Strong, ethical governance builds confidence and ensures county services deliver real value.
