Before taking office, my work started at the kitchen table helping public school parents secure crosswalk guards, transit access, and library funding across our quadrant.
Serving on city council is simply an extension of that daily casework: removing bureaucratic bottlenecks so neighborhood residents get direct answers and practical municipal solutions.
How our office operates
Plain language voting logs
Every city council vote is published online within forty-eight hours, accompanied by a clear summary explaining budget implications and district impact.
Direct casework priority
Our staff tracks constituent requests personally, whether resolving street repair delays, housing questions, or municipal permit backlogs without departmental runaround.
Regular district walks
Constructive civic policy begins with sidewalk conversations, inspecting infrastructure firsthand, and meeting small business owners outside council chambers.
Elected office is not an ideological platform; it is a shared commitment to keep our streetlights on, our schools supported, and our neighbors heard.
