Working Harder For You
Ashley is focused on what Phoenicians and small businesses care about most…
-
Ashley is tackling the housing crisis head-on because too many families are struggling to cover rent or buy a house. The only way to bring costs down is to build more housing, but it must fit our neighborhoods, preserve historic character and be forward-thinking. That means reforming outdated zoning laws, advocating for smart land use, and ensuring residents have a voice.
-
A thriving economy starts with small businesses. Ashley has a track record of supporting local entrepreneurs. She will make sure our city values businesses created right here in Phoenix and provide the opportunities they need to hire employees, succeed, and grow.
-
Neighborhoods are where we raise our kids, gather with friends and enjoy the outdoors. They should be safe from crime, be close to good parks and city services, and have shade and heat mitigation. Ashley's leadership will benefit every neighborhood, guaranteeing a quality of life we can be proud of.
-
Ashley believes the best solutions come when all voices are at the table—neighbors, business owners, nonprofits, city officials and community leaders. Ashley will listen to everyone, bringing people together to work toward shared goals and keep Phoenix competitive, resilient, and prepared for long-term growth.
