"I come from a proud family that has been involved in the community of Canton for as long as I can remember. Now I want to be a public servant for you. We need to improve our community involvement in schools, create a more attractive community, and make public safety, through community policing, our main goals. With over ten years of combined financial and legal experience, I am certain my past experiences, leadership abilities, personal skills, and hard work ethic can be well-used in this position. Being an Alderman means there needs to be great focus on accountability and responsibility. It means I have an actual duty to think about the interests of Ward 1 and the City of Canton as a whole. I would strive to work with my fellow Aldermen and Alderwomen as a team towards solutions for the betterment of our city. I am not running because of any political relationships, special interests or ulterior motive...but simply because I want to continue me dedication to public service as the next alderman of the Ward 1."
