As a a community advocate and City Councilwoman, I will advocate for more access to gun violence awareness education for our youth and will provide opportunities to engage them in the community. I will also work with the police and community leaders to create violence prevention programs and support legislation to make access to guns harder including expanding background checks. Also, seek funding for violence intervention programs and violence victim programs is a must.

was 15 years old. I grew up in the Rural town of Santee, SC and this was the only job that I was able to work at an early age. This job marked the start of the hard work and independence that I value today. Most importantly, I understand the the needs of everyday people who provide service to our communities and work tirelessly to care for their families.
