Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

I bring to the Alderman's position experience in local government, politics, business and community advocacy. At the end of the day, it will be my experience in and around government that will aid me in getting done those things that our neighborhood needs done.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (50 word limit)

I have developed an extensive plan for improving our neighborhood, which includes escalated development of tax deficient properties, building a strong block-unit program, and working proactively with the City Counselor's Office to arrest the problem of nuisance properties. Further, I will establish advocacy councils to encourage greater resident participation in decision-making. And, I will work to attract new businesses and jobs by bolstering our business districts.
