Campaign themes

The following quote came from The Buffalo News:
| “ | I want to make the Masten District the safest district in the City of Buffalo. A lot of our neighborhoods are experiencing break-ins during the day. They have experienced violence, where our young people are killing each other. I want to take my resources and my knowledge from my previous positions and put that in a greater aspect to ensure that Masten District is a safer district.[2] | ” |
