Key Issues for Ward 10

My  focus is on three critical areas: Reviving the Retail Core by attracting major retailers, hotels, and restaurants, and supporting local entrepreneurs with incentives; Improving Safety and Cleanliness of our streets; and advocating for Fair Rent and Tax Policies for all residents.

A Vision for the Future

“I envision a revitalized Ward 10 within the next five years—built on strong community spirit and a thriving local economy. My plan includes more local events, new shops, hotels, and restaurants,  bringing live music back to Uptown, without the ridiculous fees, the return of places like the YWCA, a real community center, and gaining the support needed to help businesses stay in Uptown,  creating jobs and making Uptown a destination.  Together, we can create a neighborhood where neighbors connect, families and visitors feel safe, and every resident is valued.  I want to change outsiders' perspective of Uptown, we will no longer be a community of lawlessness and  abandoned buildings, we will be   a place where people can walk the streets again, in and  out of shops,  sitting on patios with their friends and dogs, laughing, riding bikes,  listening to live music, and just living our best lives. 

Additional  Plans  for Improvement

I'm dedicated to implementing tangible changes to improve the lives of Ward 10 residents. This includes securing fair funding for critical improvements by adding new traffic signs with posted speed limits, speed bumps to curb speeding down our residential streets, safety cameras, and working with district police and community groups to prioritize Uptown in patrol routes to help reduce crime. She is committed to working with landlords, homeowners, and renters to address concerns about rent, parking, and taxes, 

Ensuring Every Voice is Heard

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected.
I'm running to represent all of Ward 10—homeowners, renters, immigrants, the unhoused, single parents, LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC,  small business owners, and people of all faiths and traditions.

Community Starts with Connection

Let's is build a future rooted in:

  • Trust and Fairness

  • Belonging and Inclusion

  • Support for Families and Local Businesses

My  vision is one of collaboration, not division—working together to break down barriers, address real issues, and create lasting change that lifts up everyone in our community.
