A St. Louis for everyone.
A St. Louis for everyone.
"Change doesn’t come by waiting—it’s something we build together, block by block, with a vision for what’s possible."
As your alderperson, I’m proud to stand with you to address the issues that matter most.
From holding absentee landlords accountable by updating our city's charter, to improving infrastructure by getting sidewalks and streets paved, and supporting small businesses, I’ve worked to ensure our neighborhoods have the tools to thrive.
But there’s more to do. I’m fighting for safer streets and sidewalks that connect us—not divide us—and an economy that uplifts businesses and working families alike.
Together, we’ve tackled tough problems and created vibrancy in our community. Let’s continue building a stronger St. Louis.
