A Stronger Rogers Park Is Possible

I believe in Rogers Park.

I believe in our small businesses that serve with pride, our seniors who carry our history, our students full of energy and ideas, our artists who give voice to the soul of the neighborhood, and every resident who wants to feel safe, respected, and heard.

I also believe we deserve better.

Too many concerns go unanswered. Too many community meetings feel like empty gestures. Too many people feel like they’re on their own. That’s not the Rogers Park I want — and I know I’m not alone.

That’s why, for years, I’ve stayed involved. Promoting local shops, picking up trash, showing up to city meetings, standing with neighbors, and saying what needs to be said — even when it’s unpopular.

People have asked if I plan to run for Alderman. The truth is, I might. But not for a title. For a cause.

I believe in a Rogers Park where leadership means being present — where every resident feels like they matter, and every business has a shot at success. That’s the future I’m committed to working for, no matter what role I play.

A stronger Rogers Park isn’t just possible — it’s overdue. And I’m ready to help make it happen.
