On the issues
What is the most urgent problem facing your jurisdiction?
As council member, I will continue to work to ensure all residents have access to a quality education, a safe environment in which to live, health insurance, affordable housing and quality jobs. All of these are and continue to be the most critical issues facing Ward 2 and our city.
