When our community was faced with a string of robberies, myself and some other residents created a neighborhood watch group.
When my neighbors were faced with a permanent street closure that would cause an evacuation concern in a high risk area, I helped organize meetings with the neighbors and the city and ultimately was able to help keep the street open.
When the neighborhood was faced with outside political influences, I stepped up to mobilize residents to ensure their voices were heard.
Now I’m running to bring our voice to the City Council. I’m proud to be the only nonpartisan, independent candidate for this city council seat, which is intended to be a non-partisan position. I hope I can earn your vote.
