For years, I navigated the corporate world, working paycheck to paycheck like many of you, as inflation rose and the cost of living increased. Each day, I witnessed the struggles faced by hardworking individuals, trying to make ends meet in an economy that often feels stacked against them. Then, one day, without warning, I found myself among the thousands affected by corporate downsizing, left to navigate the uncertainty of job loss.
This experience shook me to my core and opened my eyes to the harsh reality of job insecurity. It made me realize the fragility of the system and the vulnerability of workers at the mercy of corporate decisions. But it also ignited a fire within me, a determination to turn frustration into action, and to advocate for meaningful change.
- In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I prioritize justice, public safety, and community well-being. I am committed to promoting community policing initiatives that build trust and collaboration between law enforcement and residents, ensuring transparency and accountability. By implementing comprehensive strategies to address crime, including increased police presence and effective crime prevention programs, we will enhance public safety for all. I recognize the importance of prioritizing mental health support, allocating resources to expand access to services and training law enforcement officers to de-escalate situations involving mental health crises. Furthermore, I advocate for police accountability measures.
- In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I am dedicated to fostering responsible and inclusive development that prioritizes the needs of our community. This includes advocating for policies that prioritize affordable housing options for residents of all income levels and preserving the character of our city by maintaining low-rise buildings and historic architecture. Addressing homelessness is also a key focus, where I will work to develop comprehensive solutions that provide housing, support services, and opportunities for individuals in need. Additionally, I aim to promote mixed-use development to create vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, while also prioritizing sustainable practices to protect our environment.
- In my campaign for Mayor of Hollywood, Florida, I am committed to establishing an independent power entity that harnesses the abundant solar energy available to our city. By creating a public solar entity owned and operated by the city, we can reduce our dependency on traditional utilities like Florida Power and Light (FPL) while promoting renewable energy sources. This initiative will not only lower energy costs for residents and businesses but also increase our energy independence and resilience in the face of disruptions. Additionally, investing in solar energy infrastructure will stimulate economic growth, create green jobs, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment.
I'd love to see the day, where regardless of your origin, or your current situation, everyone is able to be successful by working hard and being a positive member of their community, without the heavy hand of taxation or government oversight.
When referring to government, I see many areas which need improvement, and believe the answers are right before our very eyes, all we need to do is reach out to the community.
The Mayor, is the highest administrative role in a city. We need to have someone who will take charge and take care of the city, not passing the buck to higher government.
The city is full of residents who are good honest people looking to take care of their families and live in peace. Not a day goes by that I don't think how grateful I am to live in Hollywood. I've traveled quite alot and there's nowhere else quite like it.
if you know, you know.
We shouldn't blindly accept and anticipate that the powers that be will do good. there needs to be proper checks and balances.
