I am running for Columbus City Council so I can serve all of Columbus. We are at an exciting turning point where we can become a city where people want to come here and stay here. But we have a lot of work to do to get there so everyone can have housing that’s affordable, one job that pays a living wage, and a community that is safe and thriving for all.
My motto has always been “I get stuff done” and I am prepared to do the hard work that gets results for this city so everyone can thrive and live their American dream.
- We need housing that is affordable for all income levels.
- We need more jobs that pay a living wage. No one should have to work multiple jobs to support their family.
- Every neighborhood should be safe and thriving for everyone.
Public Transportation: We need to improve our public transport so anyone can get to work or school on public transport no matter where they live in Columbus.
Workforce Development: We need to expand opportunities for people to develop the skills needed for good paying jobs.

For the past seven years, I have been engaged in community advocacy around the opiate epidemic, homelessness, food insecurity, and senior services. I travel around Franklin County educating community groups about addiction and the opiate epidemic and I organized the Hilltop Senior Services Initiative resulting in the launch of Ville on the Hill to help older adults age in place.
I served on Jordan's Crossing Resource Center's Steering Committee which opened a homeless resource center that provides access to drug treatment and a pan handling diversion program. I co-founded and co-chair the Prairie Township Community Health Action Team which has a free year-round monthly produce distribution for low income residents. I am the past chairperson of the Westland Area Business Association and serve on the Westland Area Commission.
My motto is "I get things done." After years of boots on the ground service to the community I am running for State Representative so I can do more to make life better for all Ohioans.
- I will focus on legislation that will move Ohio forward and make life better for all Ohioans.
- I will regularly meet with residents to learn about their needs and opinions.
- I will cross the aisle to work on bipartisan legislation.
Lowering prescription drug costs.
Keeping housing affordable.
As a community advocate and grassroots organizer, I don't just talk about issues facing communities, I get things done. I do this by listening to the community about their needs, building partnerships with other community leaders, and collaborating with organizations and local government to bring about solutions.
While my time there was brief, it was a great learning experience. I believe everyone benefits from working in customer service early in life because you learn how to think on your feet to handle difficult situations while staying calm and polite. You also learn to respect and value the people who work on the front lines of any business.
