I am honored to serve on the council. I have and will continue to stand up and advocate on your behalf for the opportunities to improve our city. I will continue to turn our challenges into possibilities to improve in the areas of crime, parks, housing, taxes and environmental issues. I want to continue to lead as a fair, open councilperson who listens to you and works for your dreams for a better Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>By getting to know me, you will see my commitment to making this city great. My family and I have been involved and invested in the Rochester community our entire lives. I am proud to have been born, raised and educated in Rochester. I take every opportunity I can to volunteer with organizations that make our city better.

I continue to volunteer, work, learn, teach and support the people of our<br \/>\ncommunity as much as possible.\n<p>My leadership experience and knowledge is ready to handle the tough decisions that will come with this position. In the past I have strived to serve as a fair and impartial leader in the Rochester Council and I will continue to serve, volunteer in the community, and encourage city staff to try new approaches to old problems. I look forward to hearing from everyone in our city with their opinions about the issues, and I will actively listen to your ideas and act on them if possible.
