Incumbent? Yes
The population decreases by 1,000 residents every 10 years, according to the census. In order to have a strong, growing community again, we must demolish or renovate dilapidated buildings to create homeownership opportunities, strengthen code enforcement, prioritize community policing and make sure the city's finances are allocated in a way that moves the city forward.
I combine my care for community with my commitment to serve. I use my journalism skills to investigate and find resources. And I use my entrepreneurial skills to ensure financial management within the city. As an alderperson, I have found resources to board up or demolish buildings for free and I have created a checks and balances systems to ensure financial oversight.
