Running on
Filed nominating petitions to run for the seat held by Ald. Walter "Red" Burnett; on the Chicago Board of Elections candidate list as of Oct. 30, 2026. His campaign rests on affordability (no vote for a property tax increase, more housing, a Green Line station at Western and Lake, a grocery store in East Garfield Park), safety (data-driven police deployment, more detectives for violent crimes, a ward youth office), and ward services (monthly TIF transparency reports and a ward council).
Background
Management consultant at Huron and then Deloitte's government practice, working on state Medicaid and public assistance programs; president of the H.O.W. United neighborhood association on the Near West Side.
