Housing for Everyone in Rogers Park

One of the biggest challenges facing Rogers Park is housing — affordable, safe, and stable homes for all residents.

I’ve spoken with many neighbors who worry about rising rents, displacement, and the lack of support for seniors and families struggling to stay in the neighborhood they love.

For years, I’ve been involved in efforts to listen, advocate, and connect people with resources — but I know more needs to be done.

Some have asked if I’m considering running for Alderman. I’ve thought about it, because I believe strong leadership on housing issues is critical to preserving the diversity and character of Rogers Park.

If I step forward, I want to work toward solutions that protect renters and homeowners alike, promote affordable housing, and ensure everyone has a place to call home.

Our neighborhood’s future depends on it — and I’m ready to be part of that work.
