Because I am passionate about the quality of life in the Brown Deer community – and I want to make sure residents know their elected officials and who to contact when they have a need
I want to engage residents in conversation and action that fosters greater economic development in the Brown Deer community
I want to encourage neighbors to “know their neighbor” through the Brown Deer Block Watch program to help reduce crime
I want to form local government partnerships to make sure Brown Deer residents are considered when decisions are made at the county and state level
I am running because I care about the same things all Brown Deer residents care about (safety, property values, quality schools, a thriving community for families to enjoy with affordable housing and property taxes to attract future generations).
There are Black women running for political office all over the United States, and we need to know who they are. It is abundantly clear that we need to start following the lead of Black women, because we show up and do what is important, even when we are being disenfranchised and sabotaged from doing the work. 2018 is especially important because midterm elections are coming up. We need all the information we can get.
