Rent keeps rising
and nothing new is being built for working people.
Did you ever stop and think: if the economy depends on development, and we’re building more than ever, why are we still broke? Why can’t we have affordable housing? Why are property taxes going up? Why do we have to allow data centers to move in?
It’s simple. Not all development is good development. Every bad development decision leads to the same outcome. Higher costs. More traffic. Fewer housing options. Less space for the things that matter. And because we keep making the same choices, we keep getting the same results.
But there’s a way out
Bad development is not inevitable. It only exists because we subsidize it and hide its true costs. Walkable, affordable communities are actually more productive and less expensive for taxpayers to maintain. We can stop bad decisions by pricing development honestly.
Pricing development honestly means changing the rules and incentives so developers pay the real cost of what they build, and are rewarded for projects that strengthen communities instead of draining them. When we do that, the market delivers better neighborhoods, lower costs, and stronger public services. That is how we fix the math.
I’m the only candidate who refuses developer money.
I’ll always put people first, not special interests
Because decisions about our neighborhoods should be made by the people who live here, not the interests that profit from unchecked growth.
I’m running for New Castle County Council District 4 because I’ve seen what happens when development is driven by short-term gain instead of long-term community health. Costs rise. Services fall behind. And families are left with fewer options.
I believe our county can grow in a way that strengthens neighborhoods instead of hollowing them out. That keeps people close to the places they love. And that respects both our tax dollars and our shared spaces.
We’re stuck in a system that’s raising our costs, weakening our services, and pushing people out. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
I believe we can build communities that actually work.
Places where working families can thrive, public services are strong, and open space is protected for the next generation.
I’m the only candidate who refuses to take money from developers. That’s why I need your support.
Candidate for New Castle County Council to bring economic sustainability through smart growth and open space preservation.
