Vision

Ending the Waves of Crime

Tragically, many of us in the 18th District have seen crimes first-hand on our blocks, within our stores, or while riding the CTA.

We deserve to raise our families in a Chicago that prioritizes protecting all children and neighbors. Chicago should be a city that invests heavily in education and social services, and in a police force with the training and resources to effectively prevent and combat criminal behavior. Families can only flourish in a safer Chicago, in which our police beat officers are members of a neighborhood’s extended family, keeping our communities safe. But this version of Chicago I hope and work for, the version I have always believed could exist, needs our collective support.

We are very fortunate to live in the 18th, a district with vibrant neighborhoods and a strong network of neighborhood organizations that give voices to their many accomplished members. An area with this many actively involved residents can work together to create and maintain an environment in which families feel safe both at home and while enjoying the many points of interest that the 18th has to offer.

There are several reasons driving our increase in crime, and we are tragically ill-equipped and under-staffed.

Our community is in desperate need of:

More police beat officers and more consistent schedules

More officers and more time within the 18th District mean more consistency, better interactions, and less unknowns when responding to calls—which benefits us all.

More effective training

The CPD is used as a catch-all institution in this city—one that is burdened with a weight it is not equipped to bear.

Improving CPD’s partnership with CPS and CTA

We’re all in this together.

Community Policing

Tragically, many of us in the 18th District have seen crimes first-hand on our blocks, within our stores, or while riding the CTA.

Hi Friends and Supporters,

On March 14th, 2023, the final votes were counted, and I am very excited to share that we received the highest number of votes for the 18th District for the Chicago Police District Council!

Our election success could never have been possible without your incredible support throughout our campaign. You hosted meet and greets, gathered signatures, fundraised, passed out palm cards, emailed your friends, supported me at three debates, and voted! You believed in our campaign, and even more so, in this city. Together, we will create a safer Chicago.

In the coming weeks, I will be relaunching this website to provide opportunities to get involved, understand the policing and safety framework/laws in Chicago, and stay updated on news and resources.

There will be opportunities and a need for all of us to get involved, roll up our sleeves, and create the change that we believe in. I humbly ask for your continued support and involvement.

I am deeply thankful to you, and I am honored to work on behalf of our communities.
