Behind the scenes with our campaign team! We are putting the final touches on our field plan and getting ready to head out into the community to meet residents at their doors. Real leadership starts with open conversations across every neighborhood. See you on the campaign trail this week!

Follow the campaign, share your concerns with us, and help keep the conversation focused on practical local solutions.

Sensible housing reform starts with eliminating red tape at City Hall. Unnecessary administrative delays push up development costs, which are ultimately passed down to local buyers and renters. Our team is committed to expediting permit approvals for middle-income housing options while protecting existing neighborhood spaces. Learn more about our practical housing plan by following our page updates! We believe housing policy should be measured by whether ordinary people can actually find a home they can afford, not by how many reports City Hall commissions. That means making approvals faster and more predictable, reducing unnecessary delays, and focusing on homes that meet the needs of working families, young people, seniors, and newcomers. We will keep talking with residents about how to add housing in a way that respects neighborhoods while making it easier for people to stay in the city they call home.

Get to know the team fighting for your neighborhood! Our candidates are local homeowners, small business owners, transit advocates, and active volunteers who understand the day-to-day challenges facing families in our city. We believe local government should focus on getting the basics right: maintaining public spaces, supporting local jobs, and delivering transparent budgets.

What is the most pressing issue in your neighborhood today? Whether it is the lack of middle-income housing options, rising property taxes impacting local renters and homeowners, or safety concerns along commercial corridors, our campaign team wants to hear directly from you. A community-first platform must be built from the ground up by listening to the people who live and work here every day. Leave a comment below or send us a direct message with your thoughts—we are reading every single response! We do not want this campaign to be a one-way conversation. The best local ideas often come directly from residents who deal with neighborhood issues every day, and we want those experiences reflected in our priorities. Keep sending us your questions, concerns, and suggestions—we will continue using them to shape future posts, videos, community conversations, and policy discussions throughout the campaign.

Four local leaders, one united vision for our city. Naomi Chocyk, Fenton Travers, Blair Coleman, and Jason Xu are joining forces to build a practical, community-first platform. Follow along as we launch our campaign!
