About the Candidate: It is no secret that our city is experiencing some difficult times. Job losses and home foreclosures are at an all time high, while crime is running rampant in our neighborhoods Despite these difficult times in our city, I am a firm believer that Chicago's 7th Ward best days are ahead of us. As your next Alderman I am Committed to working with the residents and business owners of the 7th Ward in order to help find a solution to challenging issues.
In order to bring about a positive C.H.A.N.G.E to the 7th Ward you must help me to help you. As Alderman, I will restore the Honor and respectability to the people I'll serve by listening to them and being their voice. I will be responsive to the people's concerns and addressing them. Many people want to be an Alderman, but only a few really want to do the job; I want to do the job!
As a resident of the 7th Ward I want to see Action by the officials who are charged to serve us. As my background shows and as your next Alderman I will continue to:
* Work on gentrifying our Ward through the City's planning and development
* Work towards building safe passages for our youths
* Create employment opportunities for not only adults, but for teens as well
* Educate citizen on public safety measures
* Work with high school students that are trying to prepare for their college entrance exams and excel with their academic achievements
We don't need action tomorrow- we need it Now! In order for us to move forward and Grow as a community, we need to come together and embrace C.H.A.N.G.E. As a member of Chicago's first line of defense on emergency preparedness and crime prevention, I am aware of the issues and concerns that are stressing our community. I feel it is not only my responsibility, but my civic obligation to Empower my neighbors and the residents of the 7th Ward to help bring about change.
Together we will bring forth a new 7th Ward, a better place to live and a place proud to call home.
