Why I'm Running

Cincinnati is home. I was born here, raised here, and worked here for over 30 years in public service. I’m running for City Council because I know how our city works—and more importantly, I know how it can work better.

I bring a perspective most politicians don’t have. I’ve been a union worker and a city department manager. I’ve worked on the ground and in leadership. I’ve solved problems, managed teams, and delivered results that made real improvements for Cincinnati residents.

Now, I want to take that same experience, commitment, and problem-solving mindset to City Hall.

Let’s Make Cincinnati Work for Everyone

I’m running for City Council to bring real-world experience back into city government.

I’m not here to talk in circles—I’m here to get things done.

Let’s build a Cincinnati that works for everyone.

My Priorities

1. Improve City Services

City services are the core of local government. When they work well, people may not notice. But when they don’t—everyone does. Whether it’s trash pickup, water service, or emergency response, I believe in making our basic services more reliable, efficient, and accountable.

I’ve helped improve operations from the inside, and I know where we can do better.

2. Make Housing More Affordable

Too many families in Cincinnati are struggling with sky-high rent and limited housing options. We need to invest in housing that meets the needs of real people—not just developers. That means:

Supporting affordable housing initiatives
Encouraging responsible development in every neighborhood
Working with nonprofits and private partners to expand housing access

Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home in Cincinnati.

3. Help Small Businesses in All 52 Neighborhoods

Cincinnati is a city of neighborhoods—and every one of them deserves to thrive. That starts with supporting local small businesses through grants, simplified permitting, and neighborhood-specific investment.

Whether it’s a barber shop in Price Hill, a bakery in Evanston, or a start-up in Westwood, small businesses are the heart of our communities.

4. Prioritize Mental Health

Mental health is public health. We need to ensure our city is working with healthcare providers, social services, and first responders to:

Expand mental health support
Reduce stigma
Respond with care—not just enforcement

This isn’t just about crisis management—it’s about building a healthier, more compassionate Cincinnati.

5. Tackle the Small Things That Matter

Sometimes it’s the little things that tell you how much your city cares. I’m talking about:

Trash piling up on sidewalks
Graffiti that goes untouched
Public spaces that feel neglected

These are quality of life issues that affect pride, safety, and neighborhood spirit. I’ve led teams that improved these things before—and I’ll do it again on City Council.
