The lack of accountability within the city departments and outside contractors.
Being a union blue collar worker, I understand first hand if I can not accomplish my task in a professional and timely manner I will be reprimanded by my superiors.
Affordable recreation for our youth, increased funding for our libraries, equal pay for our dpw workers and police departments.
Bringing positive change can be in many aspects, providing affordable recreation, work with libraries to create activities, and to bring a equilateral playing field within city hall so all residents are treated equally
I am a loving father of 4 beautiful children, a blue collar union electrician. I am trying to make a change to impact my children’s life as well as the life of every Patersonian.
