Imagine being told that you would be dead or in jail by the age of 21. That was the environment I grew up in, the one that felt like there were few options available for those in households of low to moderate income areas. As one who broke free from that label, I have spent my career ensuring individuals have the tools to break from their stereotypes. That is why I’m running for mayor, to work to uplift a city at a time when people need it most.
