CRIME

 

Crime is a serious matter to me.  10 years ago my home was broken into while my wife and I were asleep. I know how it feels to be the victim of a crime.

 

I have and will continue to work with the administration, law enforcement and the community to make our District a safer place to live, work, and for our children to play.

LET'S CONTINUE THE PROGRESS​
​

There is still so much we can accomplish together to continue progress in our community. The fight goes on and I will lead the effort to continue the important work of developing our community.

 

I will work with the administration, developers, property owners and the community to find solutions to the issues we face for District 44. I know that we can continue to change the landscape of our community for a better tomorrow.
