| Collapse all
- Newark runs best when City Hall and residents work together. I will make sure our neighborhoods have clear, consistent updates about projects that affect them, especially the infrastructure improvements coming to our area. Residents deserve real opportunities to be heard before decisions are made. With years of experience in public service and community engagement, I will bring open communication and accountability to every issue that impacts Ward 7.
- Growth should strengthen our sense of community, not outpace it. I will advocate for development that supports existing neighborhoods, encourages home improvement, and partners with residents to revitalize housing. By focusing on people-centered planning, we can attract investment, protect neighborhood character, and ensure progress benefits everyone who calls Newark home.
- Safe, well-maintained streets and parks are the foundation of thriving neighborhoods. I will work to expand access to sidewalks and trails, improve lighting, and keep our parks clean and welcoming. Supporting our firefighters, police, and first responders is also essential. They keep our families safe, and they deserve a city that has their back.
