Why I'm Running
Kansas City,
This is my home, and I am running for City Council because I believe our city deserves leadership that is proven, prepared, and ready to deliver real results.
I have lived in both North and South Kansas City and have seen firsthand the strengths of our communities and the challenges we share. I am prepared to step in and get to work fixing what is not working and building on what is working, including safer neighborhoods, better streets and sidewalks, and more affordable safe housing for people across our city, no matter your area code.
I am also ready to stand with the first responders who protect our communities every day, and to ensure city government is accountable to the people it serves.
