Why am i running for office?

The simple answer is that I want to be of service and make a difference for the people of this community. However, it’s much deeper than that. I’m a son of Youngstown, born & raised right on the southside. I climbed trees in Mill Creek Park, I spent weekends on the Sharon-line; I have deep roots here.

I want happiness and prosperity for my family and I consider everyone here as part of that family. I believe people are losing faith in government and it starts with the lack of representation. When people can’t see themselves reflected in their leadership, they don’t just lose interest, they lose hope. I believe that I can bridge the gap and reconnect with the citizens in order to develop policy that truly benefits our communities.

why should you vote for me?

Although I don’t have a career in politics, what I do have is a commitment to this area and the people within it. I believe that the most important job of a politician is to listen, not to talk. You can’t hear if you’re always talking. Engaging, Listening & Understanding is how you truly make a connection with the people you represent. I can’t promise that I’ll be able to fix every problem, but I can promise that I’ll be available, transparent and actively fighting for the betterment of my home. I want higher paying jobs, I want affordability, I want better education, I want our children to have a future. I just want a better Youngstown, a better Mahoning Valley.
