Why should voters elect you?
"I will facilitate full participation of all our citizens. I work for you and not the money brokers."
What do you think is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
"The citizens are angry and frustrated; elected officials don't truly represent the feeling and concerns of the public and its best interest. Our schools are a complete shambles and in disarray. No one knows exactly where our money is or where it's going. No transparency. There's bloodletting all over our city, and we have no effective or solid plan to protect our children in or out of school. We have failed to listen to our children and our citizen complaints or their proposed resolutions. Listen to our citizens and resolve our crisis. Let's fight for our right to complete congressional representation."
