Building a Safer Rogers Park Together

Safety is something every neighbor in Rogers Park deserves — walking down the street, sending our kids to school, and living without fear.

I’ve heard the concerns — from parents worried about their children, seniors feeling unsafe in their own homes, and business owners hoping for a secure environment to thrive.

For years, I’ve worked alongside community groups, local police, and residents to find real solutions — neighborhood watches, youth programs, and improved communication.

Some have asked if I’m thinking about running for Alderman. I am considering it, because I believe leadership means taking on tough issues like public safety head-on, with honesty and accountability.

If I run, I want to build stronger partnerships between residents and law enforcement, invest in prevention programs, and make sure every voice is heard.

Together, we can make Rogers Park not only vibrant but safe for everyone.
