I've been in the Lansing area since the third grade. I've lived in the city itself since 2000 -- for several years on the east side, for a decade in the Turner Dodge neighborhood, and now back on the eastside. My son came up through the Lansing School District, graduating from Lansing Eastern in 2019.
I've worked in state government for over 15 years, with significant experience in policy analysis, planning and evaluation, and program re-engineering. I currently serve as one of Lansing's representatives on the board of the Capital Area District Libraries and I'm a steering member of the Lansing Rent is Too Damn High coalition.
I believe in the power of community-driven change and the importance of an inclusive, equitable future for all of us. Our city is rich with diverse voices. I met many of you when I knocked on thousands of doors during the 2024 city charter commission election. I want to encourage community participation in our city's government and to ensure that all residents are heard and represented, regardless of background or circumstance.
Lansing is a city for all of us.
