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.

1) Challenge the mayor and the board on the use of the Rams money. Use the entire settlement to create a new community bank. The goal is construction and rehab of small homes in north St. Louis for current renters who want to own. 2) Take a firm look at the current overlapping planning process for development downtown and in north St. Louis. 3) Oppose water rate hikes.

Paid $100 to the St. Louis Green Party, lived in the city five years and over 25. A large turnout is expected for the November general election, a federal election date. Approval voting in St. Louis municipal elections now requires signatures to get on the ballot next March and April, a low voter turnout is expected and St. Louis city gets the money for all candidates.
