How have your life experiences prepared you to be a neighborhood representative?
My life experiences have informed my world view to include a commitment to building strong communities.
What do you consider to be the strengths and weaknesses of the NRP?
A main strength of the NRP is in allowing neighbors to make decisions about their neighborhoods instead of legislators.
A weakness is getting true representation across class and culture lines, especially in neighborhoods of low-income families and where English might not be spoken.
How have you participated in your neighborhood organization and its NRP process?
As a member of the Harrison Neighborhood housing committee. Past volunteer for Citizens for a Loring Park Community.
How do you plan to maintain a relationship with the neighborhoods you would represent if elected?
By attending community and neighborhood meetings as appropriate.
Name one thing you would like to work on if elected.
Keeping NRP funding intact and positioning the program to last into the future.
Why are you running for a neighborhood representative seat on the Policy Board?
Because I've got passion and energy to be an effective representative.
