Connecting with voters is my absolute favorite part about running for City Council. I get to meet lots of passionate people who have interesting ideas about how we can work together to improve our community. But I also meet folks who are struggling to get by and who need a Councilperson who will listen to them, communicate with them, and fight for them.
I’ve met with mothers who feel that they need to move in order for their children to have access to the resources they need to succeed and thrive. They’ve explained to me that their children do not have adequate youth programming or social supports to assist them, which is why I’m planning to strengthen social programs for our young people.
I’ve spoken with families who have experienced disrespect and discrimination when requesting accommodations for disabilities and enforcement of safety and sanitation laws. I firmly believe that every person deserves to live in a healthy, safe, and decent home no matter what neighborhood they live in. I will be an advocate for every resident and every neighborhood of Southeast Baltimore.
