It is hard to believe, but some council members historically have had a poor record of attendance. That will not be me. I will be there for you. Our city matters too much. I am ready.

To effectively represent you, I will do the work necessary to understand key issues that face our city. Digging deeply into the tens of thousands of pages of documents that pass in front of the city council each year. You can rest assured that someone is looking out for you.

I am an independent-minded person who appreciates the many different points of view always present in our amazing melting pot of a city. While we may not always agree, I will promise to keep an open mind and listen.
