Said, "\[i\]nformation is a critical weapon in our battle against COVID" and wants to share updated information with the public.

As a city council member, he voted against zoning for a development that would include age-restricted apartments, concerned "over what options the city would have if the applicant or future owners did not stick to the age-restricted apartments" and the reduction of green spaces in the area.
