My Top Issues
Government Reform
I firmly believe we should do everything we can to make voting as easy and hassle-free as possible.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
I will always vote to protect and expand these life-saving services.
Infrastructure / Transportation
A truly multi-modal city requires sidewalks for residents to use. I have long been an advocate of expanding and improving our sidewalk replacement plan.
Legislation
Repeal the Fireworks Law.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
I won’t stop fighting until our police department returns to full strength, ensuring that Sterling Heights remains one of America’s safest cities.
Civil Rights
I support the passage of a new Human Rights Ordinance to ensure that discrimination, bigotry, and animus have no place in Sterling Heights.
Infrastructure / Transportation
We need parks that are accessible in every part of our city, so that every child can play right in their neighborhood.
Infrastructure / Transportation
I fully support the creation of additional trails and the linkage of our park system to the Iron-Belle Trail.
