I’m running for City Council because our Ward deserves a representative who starts by listening. I’m not coming in with a personal agenda; I’m coming in with an open ear and a commitment to teamwork. Our neighborhood is at its best when we work together, not against each other.

I want to be the teammate on Council who focuses on the things that matter to your daily life: keeping our neighborhoods walkable and safe, supporting our local shops, and ensuring smart growth that respects our small-town charm.

I will work to lower cost of living for Niles residents by voting "No" to any proposal that would raise taxes or utilities, and perform a forensic audit of the city budget to discover and eliminate unnecessary spending. I will also fight against a data center being built in Niles, doing anything in my power to prevent it and save our city's land and resources.
