Accessibility Is a Right, Not a Luxury

Everyone in Rogers Park deserves to navigate this neighborhood with dignity — regardless of age, ability, or income.

But too often, I’ve seen broken sidewalks, inaccessible storefronts, and public spaces that leave neighbors behind. I’ve heard from seniors and people with disabilities who feel invisible to the systems that are supposed to serve them.

For years, I’ve advocated for accessibility improvements — not just for compliance, but for compassion.

Recently, I’ve been asked if I’m considering a run for Alderman. I’m thinking about it, because I believe Rogers Park needs leadership that makes equity a priority — not an afterthought.

If I run, I’ll work to make our streets, transit, businesses, and community programs fully accessible — and make sure people with disabilities have a permanent seat at the table.

Everyone belongs in Rogers Park. That must include everyone.

Stronger When We Stand Together

Rogers Park is many things: a tapestry of cultures, ages, and stories — each unique, each vital.

But sometimes, that diversity can feel like division. We hear different voices, see different needs, and sometimes feel pulled apart rather than woven together.

I believe the strength of our neighborhood lies in unity — in listening to one another, finding common ground, and building a future that honors all of us.

For years, I’ve worked to bridge gaps — supporting small businesses, advocating for seniors, empowering youth, and celebrating every culture that calls Rogers Park home.

Many have asked if I’m thinking about running for Alderman. I’m considering it because I want to be a leader who brings people together, not drives them apart.

If I run, I’ll focus on fostering understanding, creating partnerships, and ensuring every voice is heard and respected.

Together, we can build a Rogers Park that’s stronger, kinder, and ready for whatever comes next.
