To everyone who’s pulled me aside, called, emailed, or just said it in passing: thank you.
When you say, “You should run for Alderman,” I don’t take it lightly. In fact, I think about it often.
For years now, I’ve worked hard to serve Rogers Park — not from a podium, but from the sidewalks, the shopfronts, the back rooms of neighborhood meetings. I’ve tried to be a steady voice when things got quiet and a helping hand when someone needed support.
I didn’t plan for politics. I planned to help my neighbors.
But maybe there’s a time when the work we do behind the scenes needs to move forward — where it can have more reach and more impact. If that time is coming, I want to be ready. And I want to be sure it’s for the right reasons, with the right support.
So no announcements today. Just a thank you — and a promise.
I’ll keep listening. I’ll keep working. And I’ll never forget that everything good in public service starts with community.
