I am a proud, lifelong resident of Detroit’s East Side — born, raised, and rooted in Michigan State House District 11. I am a fighter for organized labor and a premium education for all. As a young adult, I bought my first home near Conant Gardens, a once-thriving middle-class neighborhood where young people went off to college, the military, or began careers that built legacies. I am an advocate in the community, working for, and with residents that want economic opportunities, that lead to gainful employment, affordable quality homes, a premium quality education, nonviolent public safety, clean secure walkable streets where economic growth is visible. We must unite and fight back on issues that have a negative effect on all of us.
