Why are you running?:
Four years ago I ran to stop the petty politics at City Hall and to provide more “hands on” service for the residents of District 4. I have been successful in achieving my goals but there are a number of projects and programs I would like to see completed over the next four years. Some of my programs are targeted to continue the fight of gangs, drugs and crime, improve neighborhood revitalization and job retention and creation. Additionally, the national economic downturn requires thoughtful leadership with the courage to make tough decisions to keep the city moving forward. We must prioritize our budget to improve public safety and other essential city services, while not raising taxes.
