There's no denying the positive momentum Fort Wayne has experienced over the past 10-15 years, bucking the unfortunate trends of many Midwestern cities. But, there's still work to do to ensure that every member of our community has a safe place to live, a neighborhood to be proud of, and an accessible opportunity for a comfortable life. 

I'm running for Fort Wayne City Council District 2 to be an advocate, an innovator, and a collaborator for finding pragmatic solutions to our community's challenges. I believe in our city and its people. And, I know that when we bring together diverse perspectives, gather the right information, and think creatively, our community can reach its fullest potential. 

Stay tuned in the coming months as I hit the pavement talking to voters, share my perspectives on key issues, and engage with 2nd district residents to ensure I have a full understanding of today's top concerns. 

And, if you believe we need a new voice at the council table, I humbly ask for your support.
