If we want Rogers Park to thrive, we must support the people and places that make it unique—especially our local businesses.
Every week, I speak with business owners who are hanging on by a thread. They face high rents, low foot traffic, and zero meaningful support from Alderman Joe Moore’s office. Some have given up. Others keep fighting, hoping that someone—anyone—will care enough to help.
I care.
That’s why I continue to promote our local shops, attend community meetings, and use my platforms to give them the visibility they deserve. We need to build a stronger, more self-sustaining Rogers Park from within. When we spend our dollars locally, we invest in our neighborhood's future.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about pride. It’s about taking ownership of the place we call home.
Let’s not wait for City Hall to save us. Let’s save ourselves.
