Meet Lena
Thanks for visiting! The campaign has wrapped up – thank you so much to everyone in Ward 5 and beyond who supported this grassroots effort. If you’d like to stay in touch, please sign up for email updates from Lena here.
I’m running for City Council because I love Burlington and am committed to this community’s future. As a young person who wants to live here for a long time, I see the need for:
- robust investment in affordable housing
- bold action on climate
- and holistic, lasting solutions to our affordability and public safety crises.
As a practiced problem solver and relationship builder, I intend to spark hope and engagement in a challenging moment. Perhaps we’ve met at a recent NPA meeting, where I serve on the steering committee, or you’ve seen me biking around town in a red helmet. I look forward to connecting with you at your doors and upcoming events to learn about what you envision for our neighborhood.
I use they/them pronouns. Learn more about pronouns.
My name is pronounced ‘Lay-na.’ Click here to hear it pronounced.
