I have always been a go-getter that exceeds standards and expectations. I believe District 55 deserves a leader who is capable and will fight for change until our collective community vision has been reached.- Economic Growth- INVESTMENT IN MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES STABLE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS ECONOMY SUPPORT FOR ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL BUSINESSES WITH INCENTIVES JOB CREATION FOCUSED ON TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT TO TRADE SCHOOL PROGRAMS

- Education-SUPPLEMENT EDUCATION WITH AFTER SCHOOL AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS SUPPORT ADULT LEARNING AND SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING SUPPORT REENTRY PROGRAMS ENGAGE NON-PROFITS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT YOUTH ENGAGEMENT FOR AT-RISK YOUTH
As the voice of District 55, there will be a focus on education that nurtures and supports our young people in communities where people feel safe to live, play and work. We will work together to create economic growth while generating opportunities for entrepreneurs and a workforce that invites young professionals.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
