2027 Chicago Municipal Election · 6th Ward

Connecting People Creating Opportunity Delivering Results

I have spent my career bringing businesses, institutions, government agencies, and community partners together to create opportunity across Chicago. Now I'm bringing that experience home to build a stronger 6th Ward.

On the Ground

Community Starts With Showing Up

I've seen how opportunity is created — and why some communities are left waiting. A recent tour of the 6th Ward brought residents, businesses, neighborhood organizations, and community leaders together to listen, learn, and imagine what's possible when we work toward a shared vision.

What We're Working Toward

Education + Access = Opportunity

Resources You Can Actually Navigate

Residents deserve clear communication, responsive service, and accessible information. The ward office should help people find resources, resolve concerns, and understand how their voices influence decisions.

Strong Families Build Strong Neighborhoods

I will support children, parents, caregivers, and seniors by connecting families to resources, strengthening neighborhood spaces, and ensuring residents have a voice in the decisions that shape daily life.

Every Neighborhood Deserves to Thrive

I will strengthen commercial corridors, support local businesses, connect residents to jobs and training, and attract investment that creates lasting opportunity throughout the 6th Ward.

How Change Happens

Building Bridges That Deliver Results

The challenges facing our neighborhoods can't be solved by one office or one organization. Progress happens when everyone is at the same table. As alderwoman, my job is to bring these voices together, build stronger partnerships, and turn community priorities into action.

  • Residents
  • Small Businesses
  • Schools & Youth Organizations
  • Faith & Community Leaders
  • Neighborhood Organizations
  • City Departments & City Hall

Every voice deserves a seat at the table.
