For generations, my family worshiped, attended school, and ran a family business here.
I’ve organized with Ward 1 parishioners, tenants, artists, and neighborhood organizations. I’ve attended council meetings for over five years, written a weekly newsletter on city issues for three years, and ran for council in 2023.
I’ve seen council shut neighbors out, choosing inaction when we need change. I’m ready to legislate on issues that matter and be the champion our neighborhoods deserve.
