I'm a uniter. A conduit. A bridge builder.
Everyone has a right to education, shelter, privacy and dignity. I create and maintain programs that affirm these rights for youth, seniors and homeless across Ward 7 and the Mid Del area. I'm running so that we can take these initiatives to the next level.
I'm a published author, and my latest project centers around unleashing our fullest potential. I'm even giving a TEDx talk on it this month! I see so much potential in Ward 7, and with your vote, we will unlock it!- This position is not about bureaucracy, it's about leadership, ambassadorship, and being a champion for the people. It requires a constant presence in the community and the willingness to listen to everyone, not just the ones who voted for you or might vote for you. It's about representing the people in places of power, not the other way around. I am that ambassador, that champion. I'm comfortable in the streets, the executive suites, and everywhere in between. Personal relationships, communication and problem solving are my natural talents, and I use them to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
- I'm a passionate mentor and advocate for youth because I was once a bored and broke teen surrounded by others just like me. I chose a job and they chose the streets. I'm running for office today while many of them are still running from the police. By developing jobs and programs that keep our youth out of the streets, we address much of the public safety and teen pregnancy issues. Most of our youth are not making poor decisions because they are bad, but because they are bored and broke. If you give them jobs and skills, they won't rob and kill.
- "I had the privilege of meeting this young man about a decade & a half ago when he was my student at UCO," said Judge/Professor Dr. Jennifer Barger-Johnson. "Always articulate. Always leading his peers. Always caring for others. I am beyond proud." OKC is on the cusp of becoming one of the greatest cities in the world. But it can only do that with a strong and thriving Ward 7. As goes Ward 7, so goes OKC. With a visionary leadership style and a proven record of successful service, I am not just a candidate but a well-qualified choice to serve as the next Ward 7 City Councilman.
Real change agents possess charisma, strategy, and perseverance.
You will run into a good city councilman at culturally significant events like concerts, recitals, sports games, the grocery store and at city council.
