I am a current City Council Representative (10 years). I am a small business owner, mother of five children and I prioritize Public Safety for our residents.

I want Aurora to be a city where people want to come to live, retire, and raise their children. We are a very diverse city which adds to our cultural richness.

Aurora should be a place where our diverse population feels safe, can find a job and a home, and feels part of the community.
  • I have municipal leadership experience since I have been on Council for 10 years.
  • I want our diverse population to be safe, be able to find a job and a home, and be part of the community. My door will always be open to everyone no matter background or station in life.
  • As a small business owner,I understand how difficult it can be to to make a profit with the regulatios in place. I will listen to All.
I looked up to my grandmother because she was forgiving and compassionate. She was friendly and giving.
The first big historical event I remember was the shooting of John Kennedy. I don't remember my age.
