Your neighbor. Your voice.

Parent, neighbor, community builder.

WHY AM I RUNNING FOR OFFICE?

Money and power dictate our Illinois politics today. Has it improved our children’s schools? Has it tackled public safety in our city? Has it reduced our property taxes, mortgage or the rent? Has it improved our healthcare costs?

It is time we, the parents, the youth, the seniors, the neighbors, take our domestic matters into our hands.

I am the concerned mom, the concerned neighbor who wants to bring meaningful changes in our neighborhoods.

Public education & local property taxes

Didn’t we all have a heartbreak when we saw the property tax bill? A major portion goes to fund public education where both my girls get their education from. We raise more than half a million dollars for our public school to finance our teachers. A school in the south side or west side struggle to retain teachers or have basic supplies. Who is winning here? No one. I propose to reduce our local property taxes by centralizing the public school funding to the State and expand our revenue streams to achieve fully funded public education. Massachusetts and Michigan have implemented it and enhanced educational equity across the state. It is time Illinois take our step forward for our children and to reduce the burden of our homeowners.

Public safety & Fiscal innovations

Our gate was broken into and bikes were taken from our patio. Our neighbor’s car was stolen. A fellow mom redirected her mails to the suburbs because of mail thefts. A dear friend was held at gunpoint for the sake of her wallet and meagre belongings. We report and there are no follow-ups. We have normalized that nothing is going to happen about public safety. Has anything changed? It is time to end the same old rhetoric.

Enhanced technology to prevent break-ins; data accuracy and accountability from our enforcement system; hold the youth in conflict accountable for their actions and create a preventive system to ensure they are not re-offending.
