No one can make meaningful change alone. That’s a lesson I’ve learned over years of working with the incredible people of Rogers Park — small business owners, neighborhood groups, artists, parents, seniors, and youth alike.
Together, we’ve cleaned streets, supported local shops, and stood up for issues that matter. It’s been hard work — but rewarding work.
Recently, some neighbors have asked if I’m thinking about running for Alderman. The idea has been on my mind more often lately.
If I do take that step, it won’t be alone. I believe leadership means partnership — building coalitions, listening to diverse voices, and working across boundaries.
Our neighborhood is strongest when we come together, not when we act alone. I’m committed to fostering those partnerships — whether or not I ever run for office.
Thank you for trusting me as part of this community. I’m ready for the next chapter — whatever it may be.
