Home is where community begins. 

My legal career started as a student at Harvard helping low-income residents who were being unfairly evicted. I saw first hand how rising home prices, rents and property taxes hurt families, especially the most vulnerable among us. 

If new housing and growth reflect our needs and preserve our character, then we can strengthen our neighborhoods without pushing people out. 

I’ll push for more paths to homeownership, quality and affordable housing, tax protection for longtime residents, and development that’s shaped by community input—so longtime residents can stay rooted and future generations can thrive here.

Strong local businesses are the bread and butter of a thriving community.

As a small business owner who partners with churches, nonprofits, and community members in Southwest Atlanta, I know how important city support and access to capital are for growing and sustaining any venture. 

If we invest in local businesses and create more pathways to good jobs, then our community can grow and thrive from the inside out. 

I’ll push for funding that supports entrepreneurs, expands job opportunities, and keeps dollars circulating within our neighborhoods—building wealth and opportunity for everyone in District 11.

My core belief is that every child can learn and achieve when given a fair shot, and that our seniors deserve to age with dignity, safety, and support.

Atlanta Public Schools is the foundation of my success, and public schools are the foundation of a successful local economy. But thriving neighborhoods also depend on how we care for those who came before us. If we invest in families, students, seniors, and the schools and services that serve them, we strengthen our neighborhoods and build long-term stability.

I'll push for greater investment in educational resources, youth programs, senior services, and community partnerships that expand opportunity, promote safety, and protect every generation in District 11.

Everyone should feel safe to live, work, and play in our neighborhoods.

If we invest in smart, community-focused strategies, then we can make our neighborhoods safer and stronger. That means building trust, focusing on prevention, and making sure emergency response is timely and reliable. 

I’ll support community-led safety efforts, youth programs, and the infrastructure that makes our streets safer—with a focus on smart investment, efficiency, and accountability.

Everyone in District 11 deserves safe streets, walkable sidewalks, and reliable public transit. 

I grew up walking around Ben Hill, taking MARTA, and driving Cascade, Campbellton, and Fairburn Road. Our streets and services are clear signs of whether our government is working for us—and in too many areas, our neighborhoods have been under-prioritized for too long.

If we want our communities to thrive, our infrastructure should connect us—to each other, to opportunity, and to the businesses that serve us. 

I’ll push for better infrastructure and fair investment in city services across every part of our community.

My commitment is simple: be present, work hard, and make sure every voice in District 11 is heard.

I learned in the Marines that good leadership requires presence, communication, and a bias for action. If we want city government to truly serve the people, then leadership has to be transparent, accessible, and accountable.

I’ll hold regular town halls, attend neighborhood meetings, and offer open office hours to residents. Each year, I’ll work with the community to build a shared agenda—and will use that shared agenda to guide legislation I introduce and the priorities I push for on Council.
