1. What is the most important issue in Council District 42 you would address if elected?

Public Safety.

I think we should be able to walk our streets at any time of the day our night without fear. It’s time to make the bad guys fear us.

 

2. What other important issues would you address if elected?

Education, ownership, jobs, housing our young and old people.

We have to tell our young people the road to a good job is education. The road to owning your own business is education the road to a good life is education the road to a good house is education.

 

3. What makes you the best candidate for this office?

I am interested in doing the job of the Councilmen which we don’t have a person in office right now that’s interested in doing that. Bring goods and services to the community that I will be serving. I would like to give the voice back to the people of the community. The voice to decide what’s happens in the community they live in. Not me as the Councilman tell you what your getting but you as the residents tell me what you want an I go get it for you just want to be the best Councilmen ever elected.
