In the weeks since I announced I wasn’t running for a third term as an at-large Lansing City Council member, I’ve heard from neighbors from Colonial Village up to Delta River Drive and everywhere in between, asking me to keep serving our community. It’s been flattering, humbling and inspiring. 

​

So after a lot of thinking and plenty of conversations, I have decided to run for the open 4th Ward seat in this year’s election. I’m ready to gain a fresh perspective and take on new challenges. 

 

Lansing’s ward council members are the frontline problem-solvers for people in our neighborhoods, often serving as liaisons between residents and city government and helping cut red tape. I’m running for the 4th Ward seat so I can work to address issues facing residents on a block-by-block level — critical issues like public safety, neighborhood development, road maintenance and parks upkeep. 

 

I’m asking for your support so I can continue serving the community we love. I look forward to speaking with each and every one of you here in the 4th Ward in the weeks and months ahead. 

 

I’ll see you in the neighborhood soon!
