Put an introductory paragraph to your issues page here. It could be about specific key issues your campaign is focusing on or your campaign’s more general mission and approach.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

Bringing Good-Paying Jobs to Tacoma

Kristina believes that expanding community engagement programs and investing in people is the only way Tacoma will improve public safety for everyone. She’s working to implement the chief's crime plan, ensure the police force is fully-staffed and invest in alternative response units.

Improving Community Safety

Kristina believes we have a responsibility to address disparities in home ownership. She sponsored a disparity study in 2020, which led to larger investments in the Black Homeownership program. On the council, she has worked to expand shelter options, increase safe parking, and build the affordable housing trust fund.

Expanding Affordable Housing for All

Kristina believes that no matter where you live, you deserve access to clean water and air. She has worked to expand the free tree program across the city to improve the quality of the air we breathe, strengthened environmental protections in the Port and invested $17 million to combat climate change.

Reducing Environmental Impacts

In her first term on City Council, Kristina worked diligently to create more opportunity, close equity gaps and address disparities that exist for people of color and vulnerable communities.
