My Promise to You, Newark!

1. First, safer neighborhoods. With my background in law enforcement and community advocacy, I will work to strengthen the partnership between residents, community organizations, and public safety to keep our neighborhoods safe.

2. Second, stronger families. I will continue advocating for programs that protect victims of domestic violence, support working families, and provide the resources our communities need to succeed.

3. Third, youth opportunities. We must invest in mentorship, education, recreation, and career opportunities that keep our youth engaged, inspired, and on the path to success.

4. Lastly, equitable resources. Every neighborhood in Newark deserves fair access to city services, clean streets, safe parks, and economic opportunities. As your Councilwoman At-Large, I will fight to ensure every ward is heard and respected.
