Why should voters elect you?
"Constituents should elect me to have a council member who is responsive, honest, capable, willing to fight for the people's interests and not for sale."

What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most urgent problem facing Ward 7 is our city administration's (including mayor and council) systematic disinvestment in our residents, including our schools, environment, land use, housing, health care, small businesses, security, but most importantly, our people, from the youngest to the most senior. The funding cuts from recreation, summer jobs, after-school programs and other supports for working families, as well as contracting out of jobs, have resulted in part in the rash of car thefts and associated deaths. Yet our leaders recommend harsher punishments rather than the comprehensive solution to support our youth and families by restoring our resources."
