Working Together for a Better District 8
We know our families are facing tough choices every day - from paying rising bills to worrying about neighborhood safety. Venus grew up right here and believes that by listening to your concerns and acting boldly, we can build a brighter future for everyone in District 8, where families can thrive and not just make do.
COST OF LIVING & ECONOMIC GROWTH
Too many of our neighbors feel the squeeze of high rent, rising food prices, and the struggle to make ends meet. Venus wants to push for affordable housing options, better wages, and real support for local businesses. By cutting red tape and investing in job training, we can open doors for small entrepreneurs to grow - and keep our dollars right here in the community. Venus also knows families need more than just good-paying jobs; they need real opportunities to get ahead without leaving our community behind.
INFRASTRUCTURE & NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH
Broken roads, old sidewalks, and limited transit options hurt our families and our local economy. Venus knows that fixing potholes, expanding public transportation, and caring for our parks and green spaces aren’t just “nice-to-haves” - they’re essential for a healthy, thriving community. She wants to make sure our streets are safe for walkers, bikers, and drivers alike, and that we invest in clean air and water for the long term. A well-kept neighborhood makes all the difference, and Venus is committed to giving District 8 the attention it deserves.
PUBLIC SAFETY & ACCOUNTABILITY
District 8 residents shouldn’t have to choose between facing higher crime rates or worrying about fair treatment by law enforcement. Venus believes in building trust and strong partnerships between peace officers and the people they serve. She supports better training, true accountability, and well-funded community programs that focus on prevention. By making sure officers and neighbors work together, we can create a safer environment for everyone.
