"We deserve a Council Member that will give us not just photo ops, but honest attention. We need one that will act for our communities and not just for self promotion. A representative who understands our needs and will speak to our interests, one who will work to bring jobs to our residents and investment to our neighborhoods.  We need someone who will push back against blight by targeting absentee landlords and opening more paths to home ownership. We deserve a representative who can build bridges between the local government, law enforcement, and neighborhoods in order to see a reduction in crime."
