I have been operating short-term rentals for over 13 years, building a super host rated business known for beautifully styled, well maintained homes. My properties have welcomed thousands of guests, from family celebrating milestones to friends reconnecting after years apart-people who leave with memories to last a lifetime.

I care deeply about doing these things right: maintaining safe, clean, thoughtfully, designed spaces, supporting local vendors, and being a good neighbor.

But I also care about fairness- and right now, hard-working, responsible hosts are being shut out by overreaching regulations that ignore the real value we bring to our communities, while walking over our rights as property owners. It's time for hosts to organize, to educate, and to vote. Together we can advocate for sensible policies that protect neighborhoods and preserve the right to responsibly share our homes.
