Making a difference for our future
Housing Development
When residents spoke out about unchecked housing development, I stood up and took the criticism head on to make sure those concerns were heard.
Making a difference for our children
When our city cried out because our kids were turning to guns and theft—not because they are bad kids but because they were given nothing to do—I invested my own money to open a skating rink and create a safe place for them, located RIGHT IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN.
Small Business Advocate
When small businesses felt targeted and pressured, I stepped forward to defend them.
Farmers Market
When downtown was labeled a food desert, I did not wait for permission. I stepped up and helped open a farmers' market so families could have real access to fresh, healthy food.
