Ami's Platform

• Increased dialogue, listening, transparency and democracy.

• Taking back local control over development, while understanding—and not minimizing—the gravity of the housing crisis.

• Prioritizing affordable and work force housing and tenants’ rights. Tracking affordable units and holding real estate companies accountable to their commitments.

• Community preparation and resilience in the face of federal and natural disasters.

• Protecting the vulnerable.

• Taxing wealth and not the working class.

• Supporting local businesses, a revitalized downtown and all city commercial corridors.

• Labor power.

• Protecting our privacy and the Constitutional rights of all residents. No to ICE. No to mass surveillance and no to no-cash systems. No to the Tech/MAGA oligarchy.

• Yes to protecting biodiversity, water, trees, and all life.
