Why should voters elect you?
"I am a firm beliver in Malcolm X's philosophy: 'If you design programs in which the community (people) create, then you will get action.' "
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The most urgent problems facing our ward are quality health care for our residents, especially our seniors; public safety for our community; affordable housing; and economic development. Nevertheless, we have a greater problem in our ward; some of the people in Ward 7 have lost their sense of hope. There needs to be a great change in the way that we do business in Ward 7. This is a campaign focused on involving the community in the political process and not having a closed-door policy. It is time to bridge the generation gap in the City Council."
