Platform
My children are growing up less than a mile away from their grandparents. My dream is that they make the same choice I did, and raise their children here. In order to do that, it's important that our community is labeled as safe, welcoming, and prosperous.
Safe
Our Police and Fire Departments are incredibly important. While we've made some great strides over the past few years, there's still more work to be done. Let's retain our great first responders and recruit the brightest and the best to back them up.
Welcoming
The most recent iteration of our City Council was unable to pass a simple update to our non-discrimination ordinance. As written, I can't say I would have supported it either. However, Livonia needs to make it clear that we're a community that cares about ALL people. I personally believe that this starts with leadership rather than legislation, but I'm excited to engage my City Council contemporaries in the conversation about civil rights in the 21st century.
Prosperous
Welcoming people is one thing, but welcoming commerce is another thing all together. It's 2023. It's time to look to the next stage of growth for our community. We've got too many vacant and blighted strip malls. While City Council isn't in the business of developing land, it should be in the business of engaging with those that do. Our Vision 21 Master Plan is a great outline. Let's stop talking and start building.
What's your 4th?
I understand that EVERYONE wants a community that's safe, welcoming, and prosperous. That's why I'm looking to see what your 4th hope is for the city. What's the one thing you'd like to change about the city? Is it a blighted strip mall? Is it accessibility for folks with mobility issues? Is it access to city services? Let me know below and let's help shape Livonia's next generation together.

I'm proud to have the support of these great people.
