I live and work right here in Ward 4. I am in touch with hundreds of citizens a day, listening to what they have to say. I am a barber and a distressed property developer. Reimaginer if you will.
Affordable Housing. Opening our minds to all the options.

Listening to the ward citizens as well as the citizens of Rochester. Walking the neighborhoods I have heard them loud and clear, they feel not heard.

Responsible use of our tax dollars
Be available. Attend functions and neighborhood meetings.
They are transparent. All meetings can be viewed and the public is allowed to have their input. We have to choose to be involved at every turn. Not just in the end when a project is complete.
