On to the General Election

I want to start by thanking the 1,912 people who supported me in the spring primary. Because of you, we’ve advanced to the general election, and we have one more month to finish this campaign strong.

As we head into April, I want to reiterate what this campaign is about: safer streets, making everyday life more affordable, walkable neighborhoods, and better public transit. But more than anything, this campaign is about everyday people and the next generation of Oshkosh — especially those who feel like they’ve been overlooked.

Our City Council should reflect the lived experiences of the community it serves. Today, 16% of Oshkosh residents live in poverty, and 45% of our community rents their homes. Too often, running for office requires wealth or homeownership. I’m a renter. I don’t come from a wealthy background. I’m just an everyday person who believes local government should work for everyone.

This campaign is about standing up for renters, working families, immigrants, LGBTQ residents, and all the people who quietly keep our community running. Oshkosh should be a place where everyone feels welcome, heard, and able to build a future.

In April, we have the opportunity to choose what Oshkosh’s future looks like. The progress we make depends the voices we choose to represent our city.
