ABOUT ME
I have been an activist in the
4th District for more than thirty years actively fighting for causes such as education, public
safety, the proliferation of Group Homes, the environment and economic development. Below is just a
partial list of my verifiable activities. The election for Councilperson for the 4th
Councilmanic District is too crucial to elect amateurs without any involvement in advocacy in our
community. The quality of our lives depend on it. This is not a popularity contest. For
eight years, the only constituents served in the 4th District has been special interests.
Our schools are as bad as they were thirty years ago and serious crime is affecting our potential for
economic development as we’ve had an excessive amount of violent crimes targeting businesses.
I am a policy and legislative
specialist. I am a economic development and small business specialist. The incumbent allow a 300
million dollar project, partially supported with taxpayer funds and incentives that didn’t have minority
participation in a District created to be representative of its minority population. The incumbent was
a Banker for more than thirty years but brought no economic development to the District. THAT IS
UNACCEPTABLE. Review and compare my credentials to my opponents. I AM THE PROFESSIONAL AND PROVEN
ADVOCATE TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.
