My idea: Inclusion, dversity, equity and accessibility. I would make the office open, transparent and ADA compliant. I would help tornado survivors like me keep our homes and rebuild our lives. I would facilitate mutual aid and cooperatives. I would bring empathy and compassion to the job. I am the Green Party of St. Louis-endorsed candidate.
I am a trained manuscript librarian, archivist and college professor with a bibliographic approach to teaching. If elected, I would be bibliographic assistant to the city. Now I am blind; to do the job, I would have to delegate authority and not micromanage, and this comes naturally to me. Like so many St. Louisans, I’m just trying to keep a roof over my head.
