Moving Rogers Park Forward

Getting around Rogers Park should be safe, reliable, and accessible — whether you’re on the train, riding a bike, taking the bus, or walking to the corner store.

I’ve spoken with many neighbors who are frustrated with aging infrastructure, unreliable transit service, and sidewalks or stations that don’t work for seniors or people with disabilities.

For years, I’ve advocated for improved transit access and smarter infrastructure investments in our community. I believe Rogers Park deserves better — not later, but now.

Lately, I’ve been asked whether I’m considering a run for Alderman. I’m thinking about it, because I want to bring these everyday issues — the ones that affect how we live, move, and work — to the center of the conversation.

If I run, it will be with a commitment to making our streets safer, our public transit more reliable, and our infrastructure more equitable for everyone.

This is about moving Rogers Park forward — together.
